The Slough CREW (Crime Reduction Environment Week) will start in the Manor Park area on June 28, culminating in a community event on Saturday July 3 in the Manor Field (behind the Manor Park Youth Centre).
The Slough Manor Park CREW will involved various agencies focussing on the area and dealing with matters such as crime and disorder, litter, messy gardens, and fire safety.
Slough Borough Council is leading this event, which is in partnership with Thames Valley Police, Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue and Thames Valley Probation Service and local residents.
The Slough community event on Saturday, July 3 will kick off at 10am and will end at 3pm and is the first such event planned by the Manor Park Community Forum – a group of residents working with partner agencies to address local issues with the aim of improving the lives of Manor Park residents.
The community event will host a combination of music, henna painting and exciting games provided by local Slough organisations, as well as information stalls on community safety, crime and anti social behaviour, young people’s health issues and information on other services in the area.
Vinay Vyas, community safety project officer for Slough Borough Council, said: “The success of CREW events is dependent of resident involvement. The community event planned by the Manor Park Community Forum is a perfect opportunity for local residents to talk to us, as well as the police and fire service, about any matters that may be troubling them or they would like to change.
Commissioner for Slough neighbourhoods and renewal, Cllr James Swindlehurst, added: “The CREW is one of the ways we are working with residents to help improve local neighbourhoods and deliver on their priorities. Raising the standard of the local environment is also a key commitment for the council’s leadership.
“Community safety is paramount to the council and we would like to see as many residents as possible. This is their chance to speak to us and our partners and for us to help them if there are any problems where they live.”
