East Ham has an exceptionally high crime rate, almost double the crime rate in London. Our aims are to create a safer and cleaner district, create awareness of street crime by increasing community intelligence, implementing strategies to reduce crime rates, and developing community involvement and integration through this program. We will also make use of relevant existing services through signposting.
We anticipate the outcomes will be to have a district with significantly reduced crime rates, safer neighbourhoods where residents are not in fear of themselves being hurt or their possessions being stolen, and a cleaner district. We also endeavour to enhance community engagement and community integration.
To attain our aims and outcomes, we will create awareness to establish a safer district; we will design and distribute appropriate leaflets in various languages amongst the East Ham district residents, focusing mainly on busy areas; the town centre, local community areas, and community facilities. Following the initial awareness, we will construct relevant surveys for residents to complete in order to help identify high crime locations and distinguish other areas of street crime that need to be more targeted. We have spoken with local police and criminologists, and we have secured their active support.
