2026 - Week 21

Hello Beckton

What great week of weather we’ve had. I hope your bank holiday was filled with BBQs, Ice cream and trips to the seaside. 

Have a look below to see if the heat had an impact on the Street Crimes in Beckton.

Disorder

Squatters have taken up residence in a warehouse on Eastbury Road. Damage has been caused to the building, and several allegations have been made between those involved during the week. Most of the squatters have now left the premises. We visited the address this morning and are currently liaising with the Fire Service regarding the possibility of condemning the building.
