As most of you know, we have a Safer Neighbourhood Team in place on our area, for which Bernard Hazell is the Resident's Co-ordinator.
Unfortunately, and to resident's frustration, they are very much under-funded and under-staffed and no longer the rapid response unit we initially grew accustomed with.
Currently, a private Security Service, Enigma, patrols the estate on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays between 12pm- 11pm. They are contracted until the end of March.
However, East Homes had agreed to pay for this service until all the gates and shutters are in working order, which is not case at the moment. GUPRA is in negotiations at the moment with EH hoping to renew its commitment.
We are hopeful that this service will be extended until such time the gates/shutters are all effective. As it is, there are at present pockets of ASB still blighting some areas of our estate.
Should you need the Security's assistance you can find them based at the Harford Street Multi Centre 115 Harford St, E1 4SG, next to the Green Light pharmacy and the GP surgery.
Alternatively, and to enable us to report incidents of Anti Social Behaviour on GUP, East Homes has supplied the patrolling team with a pay as you go mobile phone where they can be contacted and informed.
So during the above mentioned days and between these times you can contact them directly on 07511 615 332 to report a problem to the team.
I trust that you will use this number wisely especially when the situation merits the security's presence.
However, it is important that we still report any continuous Anti Social Behaviour to the Safer Neighbourhood Team at 020 8721 2808 in order for them to be able to act on any persistent nuisance.
Please make a note of all these times and numbers and keep them handy, and remember that for emergencies dial 999 or for non-emergencies call 101(for non-emergencies & to report a crime, which has already taken place)
