Safer Epsom & Ewell: Partnership efforts pave way for safer communities
Safer Epsom and Ewell, is a partnership initiative launched by the Council and
Surrey Police(link is external), bringing together all parties, including local organisations and charities, to tackle serious and organised crime, as well as anti-social behaviour issues that affect our local community.
In February, our Enforcement Team and
Town & Country Housing carried out two days of joint patrols in the areas around Longmead and Watersedge
. Town & Country Housing has been working closely with us and other organisations to combat anti-social behaviour and serious organised crime, with a particular focus on housing-related issues.
Last year, residents told us they saw drug use and drug dealing as a major issue with 75.9% of those surveyed believing drug use and drug dealing was an issue across the town, and 63% said anti-social behaviour occurred daily. Of those surveyed, only 26.4% of people said they believed Epsom & Ewell was a safe place to live – and the partnership set out to change this view.
