Community Spirit

[Ivan O'Pinion]

Lynne Featherstone points out that Baroness Newlove has started a blog. Now Baroness Newlove has been appointed communities champion  by the coalition and is on a mission to find out about communities and how they are made safer. As Mrs Newlove she lost her husband to a gang of yobs in 2007, so this is not a politician, pursuing an ideological goal, this is a real person reacting to a real life(!) situation.

Haringey has a number of organisations which represent communities with a view to making it a safer borough.

The Metropolitan Police has a Neighbourhood Watch section for Haringey .

The Neighbourhood Watches in Haringey are well organised into a federation

Haringey's Residents Associations are represented by a federation whose aims include bolstering community spirit.

Each ward has a safer neighbourhood team
