Have your say on independent review into the Metropolitan Police Service - MetEngage Longlands, St Marys, Sidcup, Blackfen, Blendon & Penhill, Welling

The Fairfield Independent Review, led by Dr Gillian Fairfield, is assessing the Met’s progress against the recommendations made in Baroness Casey’s 2023 review — and we’re asking Londoners to share their views as part of this important work.

 

A new survey is gathering public feedback on cultural change, standards, and the impact of improvements made so far — and we need your insight.

 

The survey is open to anyone who lives in London or has lived here in the past three years. It takes 10–20 minutes, and you don’t need any prior knowledge of the Casey Review to take part.

 

Your experiences and perceptions matter. They will help shape meaningful, lasting change in the Met.

Drugs Warrants and Anti Social behaviour Disruption Sidcup - MetEngage Longlands, St Marys, Sidcup, Blackfen, Blendon & Penhill, Welling

On Friday 27 February, following a prolonged investigation and close partnership work with Bexley Council and Housing officials, officers from Bexley Safer Neighbourhood Teams executed three drugs warrants in the Sidcup area. These warrants were carried out in direct response to ongoing community concerns about drug‑related anti‑social behaviour.

Drugs were recovered from each of the addresses targeted.

Using the evidence obtained during the enforcement activity—together with information provided by local residents and our partner agencies—officers attended Bromley Magistrates’ Court on Saturday 28 February, where they successfully secured a three‑month Closure Order for a flat that had been the source of persistent ASB for several months.

This outcome is an excellent result for the community and demonstrates what can be achieved when residents, partners, and police work together to tackle issues that impact safety and quality of life.
