CouncilLiving safely
Crime and safety are major issues in Tower Hamlets. The borough has higher rates of crime for almost all categories shown when compared to both the national and inner London figures.
Ensuring safer, cleaner streets is also key to improving the quality of life for people in the borough, helping to create the sense of a cared for, safe place.
Abandoned vehicles, street cleanliness, road safety and the quality of the environment are all important to a sense of living safely.
Drug related admissions to hospitals are much higher for the borough than inner London and national figures and this is reflected in the objectives of the Tower Hamlets Partnership which has prioritised drug related crime and treatment of drug users.
