Security Matters – July 2021

The Barbican Estate Security Committee and I are pleased to have been able to launch the Anti-Social Behaviour Reporter last month and we are also encouraged to see that a number of residents from various houses across the estate have already started to use this bespoke website to record ASB incidents.

Between the 19 and 30 June a total of 44 ASB incidents were reported. Totals by house and their % of the total were as follows:

• Ben Jonson 18 incidents (40.9%)
• Gilbert 7 (15.9%)
• Defoe 4 (9.1%)
• Bunyan Court 4 (9.1%)
• The Postern 3 (6.8%)
• Andrewes 3 (6.8%)
• John Trundle Court 2 (4.5%)
• Seddon 1 (2.3%)
• Breton 1 (2.3%)
• Willoughby 1 (2.3%)

In terms of the number of incidents and type of ASB activity reported, the results were as follows:

• Skateboarding 13 (29.5%)
• Rowdy Behaviour 8 (18.2%)
• Parkour 7 (15.9%)
• Cycling 7 (15.9%)
• Loud Music/ 1 noisy moped 7 (15.9%)
• Roller Skating 1 (2.3%)
• Intimidating Behaviour 1 (2.3%).

A summary report detailing the above is available to view on the Barbican Association’s website , when loaded, click on first report to view the details reported.

Going forward, please continue to use the website link shown below to record any anti- social behaviour activity you may witness across the estate. Please remember, at this stage, the Anti-Social Behaviour Reporter will purely record incidents.

If you witness an ASB incident, please use the website to record the event but if immediate action is also required then you should follow normal procedure i.e. call City of London Police on 101 (or 999 but only if urgent), Barbican Estate Office on 020 7029 3958, City Noise Team on 020 7606 3030.

Any non computer-savvy person should report ASB incidents via their Concierge (CPA or Lobby Porter), who will then feed the information to our website.
