Community Safety

Ensuring that employees, visitors and residents feel safe across our neighbourhoods is an essential component of how we want to support business growth and community wellbeing.

Our approach to enhancing safety is shaped by best practices in urban security risk mitigation, crime intelligence and data analytics to meet the evolving needs of our district. Key to our success is the CDA Community Safety Patrol Team. The team undertake daily high visibility patrols from Tottenham Court Road to Farringdon station, often in partnership with the Metropolitan Police.

Overview

Community feedback remains at the forefront of our commitment to enhance safety and security. For the next five years we propose to develop our security model by working even more closely with the Metropolitan Police and Camden & Islington councils’ Community Safety teams.

Our holistic approach will ensure inclusive safety initiatives are delivered across our district working in partnership with Camden and Islington Councils strategic policies and plans. Business continuity remains a shared priority for our corporate, hospitality and retail members.
