Safer Communities Partnership

Reducing crime is one of the top priorities for Redbridge Council, working with multiple agencies to achieve this goal. 

Redbridge Strategic Partnership

The vision of the Redbridge Strategic Partnership, the umbrella partnership that oversees the Community Strategy, is to make Redbridge a better place to live.  In order to achieve this, five ambitions were developed to:

  • Make Redbridge safer
  • Promote a positive attitude to the environment and have a cleaner, greener Redbridge.
  • Improve people’s health, care and well-being.
  • Give people the skills and opportunities to make the most of their lives.
  • Develop and support the Redbridge economy.

The new ten-year Sustainable Community Strategy is committed to developing a safer Redbridge and to making it a place where people feel safe to walk, live and carry out business.

Redbridge Safer Communities Partnership

The Redbridge Safer Communities Partnership is the key multi-agency platform responsible to the Strategic Partnership for delivering a safer Redbridge. Members of the Redbridge Safer Communities Partnership are:

  • London Borough of Redbridge
  • Metropolitan Police Service Police officers patrolling Redbridge streets
  • London Area Probation Service
  • Redbridge Primary Care NHS Trust
  • Metropolitan Police Authority
  • London Fire Brigade
  • Redbridge Racial Equality Council
  • Redbridge Victim Support
  • Redbridge Council for Voluntary Services
  • Redbridge Magistrates Court
  • Redbridge Chamber of Commerce
  • Redbridge Business Against Crime

This Partnership is a statutory organisation, responsible for ensuring that local agencies work together to tackle crime. Every three years the Partnership must conduct an audit of crime, disorder and substance misuse in Redbridge.

The views of local people are sought and taken into account and key issues are identified. The Partnership then has to set out proposals for tackling those issues in a “Crime, Disorder and Substance Misuse Strategy”. The current stratergy was published in June 2008 and will be reviewed annually before being updated in April 2011.
