Transforming Our Futures

In this podcast we talk to Emma Rigby about the Enfield Town Community Patrol initiative. This was an initiative started by Emma and the Love Your Doorstep social network in response to muggings outside of Enfield Grammar school.

The Enfield Town Community Patrol has now been running for 3 months and has proved to be a big success within the community. It was always our intention to open up communication channels and work with the local police, businesses, schools and the community.

Our community-led initiative based on street patrols is carried out by members of the public with no police powers. This is a positive initiative to help keep the children safe to and from school at lunchtimes and after school.

We talk to Emma about how this has progressed and what she hopes of this for the future
