| Parking Area | 35 |
| Approach Road | 21 |
| Rectory Lane | 13 |

How to read these figures
These are offences recorded by the Metropolitan Police, not offences committed. A rise can mean more crime, better reporting, or a change in how something is classified, and anti-social behaviour in particular reflects how often people call it in. Figures for one month in one area are a small sample: treat a change of a handful of offences as noise rather than a trend.
