StreetSafe – Where in Redbridge do you feel unsafe?

As part of the government’s agenda to tackle violence against women and girls, the police are using a new online tool called StreetSafe to enable people, particularly women and girls, to report locations where they feel or have felt unsafe.

The focus of this is to identify particular areas and factors that lead to people feeling unsafe and might help offenders either commit or conceal a crime – such as street lighting, abandoned buildings or poorly designed spaces, vandalism, as well as behaviours of individuals or groups of people.

StreetSafe is anonymous to use and can take only a minute to fill in.

We want our police partners to target patrols in problem areas where you feel unsafe – please use StreetSafe as often as you can to highlight issues, and hopefully you will see a more visible policing presence at the times you want. Click here to use the tool.

Petition to urgently re-open Broadmead Road to alleviate chaos in Woodford Green

A petition has been started on change.org, calling for the immediate re-opening of Broadmead Road.

The road has been closed since the beginning of summer 2023, when it emerged that its cracked concrete was falling onto the tube tracks and the structure's internal metal reinforcements had become corroded.
