Local residents in Waterloo and South Bank are continuing to work together with community leaders and authorities to address ongoing concerns around anti-social behaviour in the area.

Councillor Ibrahim Dogus has been supporting a number of resident-led campaigns focused on improving the quality of life in the neighbourhood—particularly tackling persistent issues such as excessive noise from motorcycles and cars, as well as wider anti-social behaviour.

As part of these efforts, a key meeting was held last week bringing residents together with Kaya Comer-Schwartz, Deputy Mayor of London for Policing and Crime. The meeting provided an important platform for residents to share their first-hand experiences and raise concerns directly with City Hall.

Residents spoke candidly about the impact of ongoing disturbances on their daily lives, highlighting the urgent need for coordinated and sustained action. The Deputy Mayor listened carefully to these concerns, reinforcing the importance of community engagement in shaping responses to local policing challenges.

Councillor Dogus emphasised that while the meeting marked an important step forward, continued pressure will be essential to achieving long-term solutions.

“The key thing for us is to keep the pressure on all stakeholders—police, the council, and City Hall—until we find lasting solutions to the issues affecting our community,” he said. “By working together, we can make a real difference.”

A number of local campaigns remain active, with residents encouraged to support petitions and initiatives aimed at driving change across the neighbourhood.

The collective effort reflects a strong sense of community determination to improve Waterloo and South Bank, ensuring it remains a safe, welcoming, and vibrant place to live and work.

Residents who would like to get involved in ongoing campaigns or raise concerns are encouraged to get in touch via email.
