Residential Burglary
Barking and Dagenham Council prioritised residential burglary in its new crime strategy, as other councils review crime statistics.
Barking and Dagenham Council adopted its Community Safety Partnership Strategy for 2026-2030 in September 2026, identifying residential burglary as a priority area. This comprehensive four-year plan aims to tackle crime and enhance safety across the borough, as presented at the Full Council meeting.
Councils continue to review crime data, with Sutton's Carshalton and Clockhouse Local Committee reviewing statistics, including residential burglary, in July 2025. Wandsworth's Safer Neighbourhood Board also reviewed crime data across the borough in June 2026, as part of its MOPAC Data Pack review. Residential burglary, the unlawful entry into homes with intent to commit a crime, remains a focus for councils.
