Appendix C – 590/2012 - Operation Ferrous (Metal Theft)

1. Summary Operation Ferrous is a pan MPS response to the issue of metal theft. Every Borough has an operational lead with command through Area-based Silvers linked to London Silver and Gold Commander. Our response is linked to and integrated with the BTP National Metal Theft Task Force (ACC Pacey - BTP).

2. Enforcement Activity Since 25 October 2011 enforcement operations in all Boroughs under Operation Ferrous have delivered: • 565 enforcement visits to scrap metal dealers. These comprise checks of premises and transaction records using existing powers under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act, 1964. They are conducted with a range of agencies to utilise other enforcement legislation and assist in identifying stolen metal products - Waste Regulation Authorities, Environment Agency, BTP, BT, Smartwater etc. • 580 vehicles carrying waste metals have been stopped and searched. These stop and search operations are being delivered both as part of Operation Cubo/Reclaim and as stand-alone Borough operations. They use both ANPR and simple spot and stop to disrupt the movement of stolen metals. • 43 searches of premises under warrant have been executed. • 46 persons have been arrested for a variety of offences including handling stolen metal products, theft and burglary. • 160 further enforcement actions have included reporting unlicensed scrap metal dealing and/or waste transport. • Over 6 tonnes of copper, lead and associated cabling products have been seized as a result of enforcement activity to date. This has a value estimated at £60,000.

3. Examples of borough activity

• 50 flat bed trucks and vans stopped and searched in a three hour operation in on 26 January 2012. • Arrest on 30 January 2012 of a known burglar for an offence of burglary in Wandsworth whereby £4000.00 of copper piping was removed from a premises overnight. • Two persons arrested and £100,000 of stolen beer kegs recovered in Haringey on 19 January 2012. • 4 search warrants executed in Bexley during January resulting in 4 arrests for handling stolen BT copper cable.

4. Commitment and Resources

The activity above is delivered using Safer Neighbourhood Teams assisted by specialist resources from the MPS and other agencies as necessary.

The MPS has not formed a dedicated Task Force. Operations conducted have involved the deployment of over 2000 officers tasked for specific operations to tackle metal theft.

In Bexley, a small Metal Theft Task Force has been established. It has a local remit and comprises five MPS officers working with 2 investigators from BT and one from the local authority. Initial assessment shows recorded offences in Bexley declining from 42 in November to 21 in December.

The MPS operational response will benefit from part of the £5m recently provided by the Department of Transport to BTP for national action to tackle metal theft. This will enable a small team (2 officers) to develop and co-ordinate the operational response over the coming months. This approach seeks to avoid a further central squad and embed tactics and capability across all contributing commands.

Stretching from station to Hyde Park, Exhibition Road is one of the most significant cultural axes in London. For many years it was an unwelcoming space for pedestrians though, dominated by three lanes of car parking and fast-moving traffic. Its recent transformation into a “shared space” has reversed this relationship, with the traffic slowed down, and people able to wander freely across its surface, meandering from one museum to another.

Exhibition Road: A shared space for all to explore

Place Description Stretching from South Kensington station to Hyde Park, Exhibition Road is one of the most significant cultural axes in London. For many years it was an unwelcoming space for pedestrians though, dominated by three lanes of car parking and fast-moving traffic. Its recent transformation into a “shared space” has reversed this relationship, with the traffic slowed down, and people able to wander freely across its surface, meandering from one museum to another.

Editorial Story Named after the to which it once led, Exhibition Road today sits at the centre of one of the most significant urban cultural districts in the world. Surrounded by the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, and the amongst others, the road’s prominence as a centre of great public institutions is the direct legacy of the success of the 1851 show. The area was the vision of Prince Albert, one of the organisers of the exhibition, who decreed that the profits made would be used to buy land, to establish “a vast quadrangle of public buildings, rendered easily accessible by the broad roads which will surround them – buildings where science and art may find space for development, with that air and light which are well nigh banished from this overgrown metropolis.”

Were he to have taken a walk down Exhibition Road a few years ago, the Prince may well have wondered what had happened to his vision. The broad roads and public buildings were certainly there, but their accessibility from his grand cultural axis was far from easy. Much like the air and light that was largely absent from the heavily polluted Victorian London, the pedestrian was made to feel distinctly unwelcome on a street dominated by vehicles. With two lanes of traffic and three lanes of car parking, the experience for the 11 million annual visitors was far from satisfying. To walk from one side to the other involved being herded across at a few limited crossings, being penned into traffic islands stuck between lanes, and waiting for the next light to go green.

The sight that would befall him now could not be more different. The almost unbroken surface of granite, with its dramatic black and white diamond pattern, and unflinching line of flagpole-like street lights, have transformed the road into what has been described as “the most exciting piece of streetscape in Europe,” finally befitting its cultural and historic context.

The project was the vision of Daniel Moylan, a Kensington and Chelsea Councillor and the Deputy Chairman of Transport for London, who has long been at the forefront of urban realm innovations in the capital, including the “de-cluttering” of which saw the removal of both designated pedestrian crossings and barriers. The Exhibition Road remodeling goes much further, with the elimination of almost all kerbs and railings so that cars, cyclists and pedestrians

7 London’s Great Outdoors 1. Exhibition Road share the same continuous surface. Originating in the Netherlands, the “shared space” movement is premised in the idea that both pedestrians and drivers will pay more attention to each other without the false sense of security of physical barriers, resulting in a safer environment for all. This has certainly been proved true in Kensington, where the number of accidents fell by 44% over the course of two years.

According to Sarah Rubinstein, who worked on the Exhibition Road design with the architects Dixon Jones, it was important to Moylan that every intervention had multiple purposes. The single surface, with its diamond pattern covering the road from its southerly tip by South Kensington station, to where it meets Hyde Park in the north, performs many. It is immediately recognisable, unifies a road that has a number of distinct sections, and provides a clear means of orientation for visitors. At the same time, the graphic shapes break down the ownership of the street, it makes the shared surface immediately apparent, and alerts drivers that the normal rules have been suspended. Pedestrians are encouraged to wander freely, to cross the road diagonally, and to meander from one museum to another.

The project was developed as a partnership between the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, the City of Westminster, and the . It is one of the boldest of the Mayor’s London’s Great Outdoors schemes, and its potential to become one of the Capital’s great urban spaces was demonstrated at its official launch. Closed off to traffic, a procession of dignitaries, cartwheeling acrobats, a mechanical elephant, and the band of the Welsh Guards paraded from to Imperial College. With crowds of onlookers around them, and residents and workers staring down from windows and balconies above, it was clear that the road will become a site of urban spectacle for years to come.

From what was an uninviting line-up of parked cars, coaches, and confused tourists, Exhibition Road has finally been transformed into the great cultural boulevard that Prince Albert originally envisaged, giving the principal route from the museums to Hyde Park the significance, beauty, and clarity it deserves.

This project has finally restored the original open boulevard nature of Piccadilly and Pall Mall through the reintroduction of a two-way system, de-cluttering of street furniture and increased pavement area for pedestrians.

As part of a London-wide strategy of smoothing traffic flow, the one-way loop has now been replaced with a two-way system along Pall Mall, Piccadilly and St James’s Street, as well as comprehensive improvements to the public realm, turning these congested arteries back into civilised, usable streets for both car and pedestrian.

Piccadilly: restoring the open boulevard

Headline The original open boulevard nature of Piccadilly and Pall Mall is finally restored through the reintroduction of a two-way system, de-cluttering of street furniture and increased pavement area for pedestrians.

Place description The geographic centre of London, home to some of the city’s grandest mansions and imposing private members’ clubs, Piccadilly and Pall Mall have long been dominated by heavy traffic. The introduction of a one-way system in the 1960s, exacerbated by the accumulation of excess street furniture, has served to create a hostile environment for pedestrians, hindering circulation and damaging local business. A recent project has seen the reintroduction of a two-way system, as well as radical de-cluttering of the street and generous extensions to the pavement, restoring the open, boulevard nature of these distinguished avenues.

Editorial story “This really is the centre of London. But why?” asked writer Ian Nairn, standing in the middle of Piccadilly Circus in 1966. “Why, when you stand under Eros, with the traffic whirling endlessly round, does it suddenly feel as if the whole enormous city is in the palm of your hand?” This energising, epicentral feeling, he concluded, “all depends on traffic.”

Traffic has long dominated the character of this area of London, Piccadilly being part of the A4, the city’s second most important western artery, drawing vehicles off from the swirling torrent of Hyde Park Corner and charging them east towards the gateway to .

What has been an urban motorway of sorts for the past 50 years once began as the most desirable address in London, home to some of the grandest private mansions built during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It had an urbane, genteel character, and was described by Charles Dickens’ son in 1879 as “the nearest approach to the Parisian boulevard of which London can boast.”

To the south runs Pall Mall, an equally grand address, bounded by a gauntlet of gentlemen’s clubs built there during the nineteenth century – from the colonnaded portico of the Athenaeum, to the marching pedimented windows of the Reform Club and the imposing pilasters of the Royal Automobile Club. Nairn described is as “a straight, gloomy, reserved street, the epitome of nineteenth-century closed doors compared with the wider, jollier, eighteenth-century St James’s Street.”

With the dramatic increase in private vehicles in the twentieth century, the character of these majestic avenues began to change. The Road Traffic Act of 1960 paved the way for the London Traffic Management Unit, whose sole job was to speed up traffic across the city. The newly formed Council soon endorsed a series of Traffic

11 London’s Great Outdoors 2. Piccadilly Two Way Working

Management Schemes, which proposed major one-way systems, often using parallel streets. Aldgate, Tottenham Court Road, Earl’s Court, King’s Cross, London Bridge and Victoria were all subject to such schemes, as was Piccadilly and Pall Mall. Here a one-way box was formed, connecting the two stately streets, via Haymarket and St James’s Street, into one big multi-lane loop.

The system succeeded in speeding up traffic initially, but ultimately had the effect of simply encouraging growth, thereby reducing speeds and further increasing congestion – damaging to business and pedestrians, as well as taking bus services away from their ideal destinations.

A £14 million project by Westminster City Council, in partnership with Transport for London and the Crown Estate, has recently attempted to undo some of the damage of the 1960s. As part of a London-wide strategy of smoothing traffic flow, the one-way loop has now been replaced with a two-way system along Pall Mall, Piccadilly and St James’s Street, as well as comprehensive improvements to the public realm, turning these congested arteries back into civilised, usable streets for both car and pedestrian.

Over the years, the pavements had become littered with duplicate street furniture, groaning under the weight of excess lampposts, street signs and railings. The recent work has seen the removal of 51 lighting columns, 34 unnecessary signs and 825m of pedestrian guardrail, with traffic signals and road signs now integrated into new street lighting.

These multifunctional lighting columns are now positioned on central islands along the middle of Piccadilly and Pall Mall, each paved with high quality granite sets, going some way to restoring the boulevard feeling of these broad avenues. The central islands, along with the removal of guardrails, provide greater opportunities for pedestrians to cross, as well as introducing a usable footway down the middle of the road.

New crossings have also been installed at points that reflect key desire lines – for example, it’s now possible to cross from Eros to the north side of Piccadilly, an act which previously involved the convoluted traversal of several different lanes. There is now an extra 480sq m of pavement, and a 25% increase in public space on the corner of Regent Street and Piccadilly.

“The improved pedestrian crossings and reduction in street clutter will all benefit the trading environment for our businesses,” says Sarah Porter, chief executive of the Heart of London business alliance of local companies, which have long suffered from the severance caused by the tortuous crossing arrangements.

The ease in traffic is also already being felt: “It has made commuting a lot better,” says Annie Walker, director of the Regent Street Association. “Coming to work at 8.30am – along Piccadilly from Hyde Park and then left into Albemarle Street – seems much smoother. Not necessarily less traffic, but it just moved quicker. And I just love the cartoon signs directing you to Trafalgar Square – what a great idea.”

With this model example of how to ease the inevitable weight of traffic,

12 London’s Great Outdoors 2. Piccadilly Two Way Working rather than banish it from the city altogether, it seems appropriate, almost 50 years on, to remember Ian Nairn’s words. “This is a bit of real life, not an academic design problem,” he wrote of the potential reconstruction of the roads around Piccadilly. “The traffic must stay visible and circulating, for it is an essential part of the hub-of-the-world feeling.”

Facts

The name Piccadilly first appeared in 1626 as Pickadilly Hall, named after a house belonging to Robert Baker, a tailor famous for selling piccadills, a kind of still collar with scalloped edges and broad lace trimming.

The name Pall Mall is derived from a mallet and ball game that was played there during the seventeenth century.

The statue in Piccadilly circus – the first in the world to be cast in aluminium – is commonly thought to represent Eros, but in fact it is of his twin brother, Anteros.

When unveiled, it was described by The Magazine of Art as “a striking contrast to the dull ugliness of the generality of our street sculpture, ... a work which, while beautifying one of our hitherto desolate open spaces, should do much towards the elevation of public taste in the direction of decorative sculpture, and serve freedom for the metropolis from any further additions of the old order of monumental monstrosities.”

The Piccadilly two-way project has seen the removal of 51 lighting columns, 34 redundant signs and 825m of pedestrian guardrail, as well as the introduction of 480sq m of extra usable footway.

New high quality paving has been introduced, including 5,200sq m of stone along Piccadilly, and 1,580sq m of granite sets in the central islands along Piccadilly and Pall Mall.

The project has provided a 25% increase in public space on the corner of Regent Street and Piccadilly.

Completed in time for the 2012 Olympic Games, the restored two-way traffic system has opened up a key gateway to St James’s Park, the Mall and Horse Guards Parade, which will be used as the venue for beach volleyball.

Westminster is hoping to introduce continental-style traffic lights ¬– with a small set of lights at vehicle-height – to reduce secondary signal poles at intersections, the first time these will be used in the UK.

Deptford: Reconnecting a highly creative market town

Place Description With a well-known music and visual arts scene Deptford is one of the most vibrant and diverse areas of London, with a high street of independent shops and bustling markets. Through a series of significant regeneration works supported by the Mayor, a 3km route of open spaces has transformed the town centre and a series of uninviting parks, into a significant public amenity. Linked together to form a well-used pedestrian link, the route connects a series of schools, a health centre, theatre, and library, as well as three different train stations, drawing the local communities back into the centre of Deptford.

Editorial Story When Henry VIII established the Royal Docks at Deptford in 1513, he transformed what had been a small fishing village into thriving and prosperous community. With the decline of the dockyards, from their height building ships for the Royal Navy, becoming in turn a foreign cattle market, and then News International’s paper yard, Deptford’s fortunes waned. The area became one of the most deprived in London, with youth unemployment today being one of the highest in the country.

In spite of its challenges, Deptford has emerged as a diverse, tightly- knit, and highly creative community. Its high street is one of the most varied and vibrant in the capital, the array of butchers and greengrocers conjuring up nostalgic memories of the family-run independent shops that have become endangered in many town centres.

It is the markets however that truly set Deptford apart. Stretching from New Cross Road to Griffin Square and down Douglas Way, its stalls can provide you with anything you could ever need. The Flea Market in particular is an extraordinary sight; overloaded tables with everything from antique jewellery to power tools and chandeliers. The importance of the markets to Deptford cannot be overstated. As local resident and community activist Claire Pritchard explains, “It is the market trade that has helped the small shops be successful.”

The recent regeneration works in the town centre, with new paving, lighting and landscaping, have provided a great boost to the traders. Relocated around the corner from their old site in Douglas Square, and now spread out along Douglas Way, the Flea Market has much more space than it used to. With the old pitches refurbished they were meant to be moving back, but many are reluctant to do so, so there is now talk of encouraging a greater number of food stalls into the square, increasing the size and diversity of the market even further.

The urban realm improvements along Douglas Way have been a small part of a much larger series of regeneration works in and around Deptford, including the construction of a new train station by TfL and the first stage of the Council’s “North Lewisham Links,” a programme designed to improve pedestrian and cycle routes around the north of the

16 London’s Great Outdoors 3. Kender Triangle, New Cross and links to Deptford borough.

Supported by the Mayor, a 3km network of public space has been transformed, with previously uninviting parks redesigned and new pathways and signage added to mark the route. Stretching from Hatcham Gardens in the west, through both Fordham Park and Margret McMillan Park, the network connects a series of schools, the health centre, theatre, and library, as well as three different stations. It provides a critical pedestrian link, bringing previously disconnected communities back into the town centre.

All of these improvements are literally paving the way for what will undoubtedly be a much more dramatic transformation of Deptford. 500 years on from the founding of the King’s Dock, the area is once- again going to see a massive influx of new residents, with the proposed construction of thousands of new homes. How the area is going to retain its spirit, and the vibrancy of its visual arts and music scenes, is understandably of concern to some of its residents, but for many of the shop owners and market traders, the increase in customers will be warmly welcomed.

For Rebecca Molina, who has lived in Deptford since her family moved from South America when she was a child, the change can only be positive. “Change is resisted in tight-knit communities, but when it happens people realise the advantages it brings to the local area,” she says. As manager of the Deptford Project, Molina has seen this first hand and is personally trying to ensure that the Deptford spirit survives.

Located in an old railway yard between the train station and Douglas Way, the Deptford Project will eventually be the site of a new residential development by architect Richard Rogers, but in the meantime it has been opened up to the community. A converted 1960s train carriage now sits at the entrance, transformed into one of the most original cafes you will ever visit, and the arches of the Victorian carriage ramp behind house workshops for local craftspeople.

Through a whole series of events, from Silent Cinema nights to a mini Farm and Christmas markets, the Deptford Project has attracted increasing numbers of people into the area. For Molina, it is about trying to influence “positive change,” and she hopes those that eventually buy into the development will be buying into the community as well.

“Deptford is very diverse,” she says. “It’s a mixture of personalities, but what makes it work is how that diversity and different groups work alongside each other.”

The collective impact of organisations like Molina’s, the renovation of the streets, parks and playgrounds, as well as smaller community-driven projects, add up to something much more significant than the sum of their individual parts. Together they are building a stronger, more vibrant, and more resilient Deptford, ensuring that no matter what, its spirit will endure.

Facts and Stats

In 2005 a Yellow Pages study described Deptford as having “the Capital’s most diverse and vibrant high street.”

In April 2009 the New York Times recommended Deptford to visitors as having “that most heady of urban ingredients – an edge.”

In March 2011 Jamie Oliver visited the Deptford Project to film a show for his series “Jamie’s Great Britain.”

1,800 homes are to be built in Deptford and New Cross town centre by 2025, with a further 8,300 developed on former industrial sites such as Convoy’s Wharf.

Following the completion of Margret McMillan park, a survey of users found that 73% used the park more following the regeneration, with 93% feeling safer since the improvements took place.

Footfall and pitch occupancy of the Douglas Way market has increased 11% since the urban realm improvements took place.

43% of the local population is of dual or mixed heritage, including a strong Vietnamese community.

20 London’s Great Outdoors 4. Wildspace - Rainham to the Thames

For information: Unpublished editorial that will be used on london.gov.uk website

Rainham Village: a centre of heritage in the wild marshes

Place description Clinging to the verge of the greenbelt between London and rural Essex, the historic village of Rainham sits like a precarious relic. Brutalised by the arrival of a giant Tesco in the 1980s and severed from its surrounding marsh landscape by the concrete barriers of roads and railways, it has nonetheless always thrived off its tight-knit sense of community. The last ten years have seen a change in its fortunes, with lively village fayres going from strength to strength, as well as key strategic public realm improvements that celebrate the special character of this unique place.

Editorial story Perched on the edge of the floodplain at the bottom of the Ingrebourne valley, where sprawling marshland collides with a clutter of industrial sheds, Rainham village feels like an outpost at the end of the world. A key trading centre for several centuries, strategically sited up a navigable river from the Thames, it is an area with a rich history, as a stroll around its crooked medieval lanes quickly reveals.

The Norman church of St Helen and St Giles, built in 1170, is the oldest building in Havering, while the neighbouring eighteenth century Rainham Hall is one of the finest preserved Georgian merchant’s houses in Essex. Such ancient fabric brings with it an equally deep-rooted community, a tight-knit group often averse to influx and change.

“Rainham is very clannish,” says one resident, who has run the local shoe shop for the past 40 years – which itself has been here since 1894. “You’ve got to be here 12 generations before you’re accepted.” He describes how the village once had a thriving high street, which was destroyed by the arrival of a gigantic Tesco in the 1980s that “sucked the lifeblood out of the town,” both physically and economically. Then the Channel Tunnel Rail Link arrived, severing the village from its marshland setting with an impenetrable concrete gulley, further dislocated from the Thames by the rumbling A13 flyover. “The damage has already been done,” he says.

In the 1990s, local shopkeepers and community groups came together in an attempt to reverse this tide, setting up a May Fayre of stalls, entertainment and events, which has since expanded to become a lively annual celebration, complete with jester, conjurer, brass band and morris dancers, as well as a climbing wall and bouncy castles – and it has spawned a Christmas version too.

With help from the Mayor’s Outer London Fund, this year saw the fayre equipped with staging, a PA system, new Christmas lights and wandering actors in Victorian costume. “The funding was an absolute godsend,” says Lyn Fuller, Chair of the Rainham Association for Village Events (RAVE). “It let us do so much more and help to attract huge numbers of people.”

21 London’s Great Outdoors 4. Wildspace - Rainham to the Thames

Alongside these seasonal activities, a long-term programme of public realm improvements is underway, including a new route from the high street to the supermarket. This transforms what was a dark, covered alleyway into an inviting street, which terminates in a new public square. “It provides a great setting for our outdoor concerts and events,” says a local teenager from the neighbouring Royals Youth Centre – which will also benefit from plans for a new business enterprise incubator, funded by the second round of the Outer London Fund.

Meanwhile, shops along the high street are already looking up, thanks to the Council’s ongoing shop front improvement scheme that has seen 15 frontages restored over the past few years, in-keeping with the character of the conservation area, while help from a visual merchandiser will soon have their sales and display tactics honed.

“This is all great, but real problem is parking and the buses,” says Roger Sackville, a local solicitor and treasurer of RAVE. “There’s nowhere for people to stop along the high street, and the current bus stand blocks all the shops.” Both of these problems will soon be solved by the introduction of a one-way system, which will see the carriageway narrowed to allow for on-street parking, as well as the bus-stop moved down to the station, where a new library will border a village green. Elsewhere in the village, other green space is being opened up.

The sunken garden of Rainham Hall has just been restored to its former glory, and will be open as a public park, providing a new route through from the station to the high street. There are also plans to improve Creekside Park, currently a dead-end magnet for anti-social behaviour, to make it an attractive amenity. The village will also soon be reconnected with the marshes to the south, with the opening of a new elevated trackway that leads visitors down into the Wildspace reserve along a dramatic ramp from the railway bridge. The town’s hidden histories, meanwhile, are to be celebrated in a planned heritage trail of bronze medallions embedded in the pavement, revealing stories of the area’s former lives.

“Rainham has a lot going for it, from ancient history to the natural landscape, but no-one knows about it,” says Sackville. “People are surprised when they come here. We need to advertise these incredible assets and show people that it’s a great place to come and invest in.” Although they may seem small, this series of joined-up interventions, bolstered by an indomitable community spirit, is slowly helping to stitch this fractured place back together and strengthen its unique characteristics as a centre of heritage in the wild world of the marshes.

Facts

The Norman church is the oldest building in Havering, dating back to 1170.

The village grew on the fortunes of Captain John Harle, who built Rainham Hall in 1729. He worked to dredge and widen the Ingrebourne river so barges could come up from the Thames carrying building materials, grain and fuel.
