As a Housing Officer I can make a positive difference in people’s lives and I can see the direct impact that having decent homes and environment to live in has within the local community.

I help residents with rent payments through payment plans and offering tailored support to those who need help managing their finances. It's fulfilling to see how small, practical interventions can make a significant difference.

I enjoy helping residents resolve antisocial behaviour issues. Being from the area, I understand the ongoing issues in Tower Hamlets, and I can relate to residents which allows me to tackle the reoccurring ASB that we face in the area.

Neighbourhood priorities

Drug use in communal areas

To address drug dealing on estates, we:

  • collaborate with authorities: partnering with local police, increasing patrols, and using surveillance to monitor illegal activity. We encourage residents to contact the Police or contact Crime Stoppers to report anonymously
  • build community engagement: building trust with tenants, educating residents about spotting and reporting drug dealing
  • develop environmental design: improving lighting, securing entryways, maintaining properties, and using CCTV to deter criminal behaviour
  • provide tenant support: offering referrals to addiction support and signposting to where they may access help
  • enforce tenancy agreements: if the same individuals are perpetrating antisocial behaviour continually we will take legal action, including eviction, for drug-related violations
  • look at data and intelligence: tracking hotspots and using reports from residents and Police to target resources
  • work on youth and diversion programmes: our Safeguarding Interventions Manager will work with young people and partner agencies to deter young people from engaging in drug dealing
