Warrior Square Walkabout

Picture college from this morning's walkabout in Warrior Square, Little Ilford with Councillors and officers from Housing liaison, Caretaking, ASB, Repairs and Technical.  Also, a local Police Community Support Officer was in attendance.

I am determined that we try to "design out crime" on our estates as far as possible. We identified the demolition of disused pram sheds and greater use of mobile CCTV cameras as being possible way forwards.

We also need to make it clear that all forms of anti-social behaviour will simply not be tolerated and  that residents who cause (or allow) such criminal behaviour will face eviction and/or termination of their leases. 

I am really pleased that we now have a dedicated Housing Liaison officer for all blocks and estates in the borough and that there will be regular inspections of estates by officers, Councillors and local residents. 

Charlbury House Walkabout - 17 July 2018 with local Little Ilford Councillors (Art in Blocks)

Picture collage from this evening when I did a home visit to Charlbury House with local Little Ilford Councillors, Councillor Riaz Ahmed Mirza and Councillor Pushpa Dipaklal Makwana about an ongoing leak in the block affecting a number of flats that needs sorting.

We did a "walkabout" from top to bottom afterwards and around the outside. The block was generally clean and in good repair but I will be making a number of on-line communal repair & cleaning reports via #LoveNewham app and also assist Cllr Mirza in the chase up of the leak.  

I forgot to discuss with the ward Cllrs about "Art in Blocks" but it would appear that there is already a secure notice board (bottom right) that perhaps we can use?
