Crime Prevention
In response to resident concerns about the risk of theft and other crime we have trained our neighbourhood wardens to use Home Office Crime Reduction principles to advise tenants. Our wardens can visit you in your home and help you to reduce your risk of becoming a victim of crime. This is what we are doing:
