Louise Vaughan, a resident just east of Brick Lane, gave an inspiring talk about her experience of setting up the first Neighbourhood Watch group in the ward. Those who were at our Members’ Meeting in September heard how the group quickly found communication to be the most important thing. The impact of the this Neighbourhood Watch group in reducing anti-social behaviour has been significant. Louise told us the longer term goals are all about prevention, which include helping to start support groups for both parents and for young people.
Starting a Neighbourhood Watch group on your street or in your block is simple. To find out more, click here to read FAQs on the Tower Hamlets website.
