HELPING TO MAKE EPPING A SAFER PLACE TO LIVE

Are you fed up with anti-social behaviour, speeding cars, noise or youth nuisance? Do you want to see litter, fly tipping, graffiti, abandoned vehicles and rubbish cleared? Are you worried about issues relating to violence, criminal damage, drug and alcohol misuse? Do you think there are problems in Epping that just don’t seem to get resolved? Now is your chance to get involved and help make Epping a safer place to live.

I am currently working in conjunction with Essex Police and the Epping Forest Safer Communities Partnership to create a Neighbourhood Action Panel (NAP) for Epping. These NAPs are currently working right across Essex and indeed elsewhere in Epping Forest with great success. The panel will be charged with helping to identify criminal activity and setting policing priorities by creating action plans and strategies to help combat crime locally which will be carried out by our Police Officers. The panel must be formed and managed by local residents with support from local Councillors, Police and the Partnership.

If you have been effected by crime or have concerns about anti-social behaviour locally and are willing to work with us to tackle these issues, or if you have any questions, please contact me by email at allaboutepping@googlemail.com I wholeheartedly support this move to empower our local community to lead the way in reducing crime and anti-social behaviour and hope to hear from you soon!
