Hotspot security patrols underway in housing pilot scheme

The pilot scheme is spearheaded by Enfield Council and includes a security team of four security operatives who will patrol in pairs on rotation and two security dogs. While they do not replace the important role that police officers perform, they are trained in defusing problematic situations, mediation and community engagement. They will liaise closely with the Council’s housing team as well as local police officers, to ensure Enfield’s estates are safe and peaceful places to live.

Enfield Council’s Cabinet Member for Housing, Cllr Ayten Guzel, patrolled with two members of the security team and their dog on The Avenues Estate, EN1. Cllr Guzel commented: “I have been speaking to tenants across our estates and in a short space of time, the reaction to this scheme has been overwhelmingly positive. Residents have told us that they find it reassuring to see security operatives patrolling during the darker hours.

“Everyone has the right to live in a safe and secure environment and we are looking at proactive ways in which we can improve the lives of our residents. The main objective of the pilot is to make residents feel more secure and supported and to deter offenders. However, this isn’t just about enforcement. It’s also about looking at ways we can improve everyone’s quality of life on our estates.”

Enfield Council is keen to hear from Council tenants and leaseholders to understand how our services can be improved. One way to do this is to join the Enfield 500 Scheme. Cllr Guzel added: “If you are a Council Housing tenant or leaseholder and would like to discuss ideas about how to improve your estate, please consider joining – this is an opportunity to hear about your priorities and how we can shape the delivery of our services.”
