Update 14 August 2025

Today the Community Safety Team and Junction local policing team completed a visit to the estate to complete and Environmental Visual Audit covering Girdlestone Walk and Girdlestone Park.

An Environmental Visual Audit helps to produce “Community Intelligence” to support both crime reduction and deliver other improvements to quality-of-life issues via partnership working. The audit used to identify both physical changes to the environment and highlight where additional resources are needed to reduce crime, fear of crime, and repeat victimisation.

There were 23 recommendations made during the visit. A report will be written up and shared with relevant services so we can see which recommendations are feasible and then begin to implement the changes.

During the visit the police conducted a high visible patrol of the hot spot locations.

Once the report has been written, we will provide a further update on this page.

We have also continued partnership work between Community Safety and Tenancy in relation to several problematic addresses on the estate.
