This week, north side of the Ridgeway at the Plumstead end being cleared, probably to put in a new ramp allowing residents from new Lombard Square development to easily get to Plumstead High Street.

Should @RidgewayUsers be doing more about this, for example doing something like the crime log created by Greenway Users - https://t.co/QjfgqyRFDv

[Ridgeway Users @RidgewayUsers]

😟oh dear, right next to the Ridgeway. https://t.co/QIALSpZP4n

[Ridgeway Users @RidgewayUsers]

If this or other crimes are committed on the Ridgeway, there are no ways to identify them in police records as they are assigned to the nearest road. Thus crime stats on the Ridgeway are not visible and action is not done to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour on the Ridgeway.
