Epping Forest District Council has released a six-month update on their Safer Streets project in the Oakwood Hill estate, receiving a total of £308,500 in funding. Initiatives include increased CCTV coverage, improved street lighting, effective weed management, and environmental enhancements through graffiti removal. Four new cameras were added in December 2023, with plans for more installations by March 2025. Community engagement efforts have been boosted through youth activities and the proposal of a youth club for local residents. Additionally, the council has increased patrols to enforce public space regulations and improve safety.
The Safer Streets project, funded by over £300,000 combined, aims to enhance safety, environment, and wellbeing for Oakwood Hill residents through improved surveillance and community engagement.
As part of ongoing improvements, the project has successfully installed new CCTV cameras and optimized lighting, with further upgrades planned to support community safety.
Youth engagement initiatives have successfully included sports, podcasts, and video games, with plans underway for establishing a youth club to promote positive community involvement.
The council has also tackled local environmental issues by managing overgrowth and enhancing litter facilities, contributing significantly to the estate's overall aesthetic and safety.
