Pimlico North Ward Panel
The Pimlico North Ward Panel is composed of a diverse group of representatives from the Ward, including the Met Neighbourhood Policing team, Westminster Councillors, Westminster County Council (usually the Neighbourhood Coordinator in the Public Protection and Licensing Team), Residents’ Associations including from Council housing, Neighbourhood Watch groups, and occasionally other concerned residents and business owners. We usually have about 15-20 attendees.
Our primary priorities are drug dealing, anti-social behaviour and a third priority, usually alternating between theft, burglary or anti-social bike/scooter riding, based on crime experienced during the previous quarter. The biggest problem area centers around Victoria Station, followed by Pimlico Station, Warwick Way, Wilton Road, and several other areas depending on crime patterns. The consistency of police messaging to the Ward Panel - report, report, report – and the cooperation this has encouraged, have resulted in progress against crime and anti-social behaviour.
