Barnet Council has opened Community Safety Hubs as part of a range of measures to help make it easier to report crime and concerns to help people feel safer in the borough of Barnet.
Residents can anonymously report or raise concerns about crime and anti-social behaviour in their area with dedicated council officers in their local Community Safety Hub at barnet.gov.uk.
Working to make Barnet a safer place
The creation of Community Safety Hubs is one of two schemes in the council’s programme to make it easier to report crime and concerns to help people feel safer. In November, the council introduced ‘Ward Walks’ in which councillors, council officers and Police visit local neighbourhoods to investigate reported anti-social behaviour-related issues.
The launch of Barnet’s Community Safety Hubs and Ward Walks follows the publication of Barnet’s Community Safety Strategy 2022- 2027, which sets out how the council will tackle issues ranging from violence against women and girls, through to anti-social behaviour and protecting those most at risk of exploitation and radicalisation.
Additional future council initiatives include investment in upgrading the borough’s current CCTV system and working with residents and the Police to create action plans that tackle local street-level issues in every neighbourhood.
