ENFIELD: Anti-social behaviour is residents’ top concern

Anti-social behaviour is residents’ top concern

A REPORT examining council tenants and leaseholders' views on anti-social behaviour in the borough has been released this week.

It reveals that anti-social behaviour is the most important concern for all Enfield residents, no matter where they live.

A total of 62 per cent of Enfield's residents felt that safety in the home and on their estate was the most important issue in their life.

The survey also reveals that people who help to make decisions about the area in which they live, and those who take more of an active role in community involvement, tend to feel happier about their quality of life.

Other findings suggest that people in lower Edmonton are among the most positive in the borough and feel that anti-social behaviour is not currently a major issue.

A council spokeswoman said: "The results show that when people are involved in community life they become less fearful of anti-social behaviour.

"Whether meeting neighbours or taking part in neighbourhood events, such as Enfield's community festivals, getting involved in local life is a great way to see what things are really like."
