The Neighbourhood Team has prioritized addressing and preventing robberies in the community. Proactive measures, including targeted patrols in areas with historically higher robbery rates, have resulted in a visible reduction in incidents. Close collaboration with local businesses to improve security measures and timely sharing of intelligence within the team have been instrumental in identifying and apprehending individuals involved in robbery-related activities.

In addition to this we have held walk, talk and do sessions in the areas of the canal tow path and hackney marshes where we have engaged with women and girls, provided reassurance and crime preventing advice. We have also distributed personal safety alarms and literature of best practice of being safe outside. This month we are holding VAWG 16 days of action where we walk with women and girls through the marshes, we have set up a MET tent where public can come and speak to us more freely.
