Thankfully all was quiet in Havering again last night.
Before we break for the weekend, I wanted to pass on my thanks for some sterling work by our staff, in support of the superb operation mounted by Havering Police.
Our Community Safety team have worked very closely with the Police on safeguarding our communities and they have been ably supported by the Parks Patrols which have been providing visible and mobile support in our green spaces. Streetcare staff have been out keeping the borough tidy and ensuring that unnecessary street furniture or clutter that could be used by troublemakers was cleared away. The Communications team have been working with the Police to maintain the flow of accurate information to counter the wild rumours that we saw earlier in the week. The Youth Service has been working and talking with young people in our town centres and the Market team have put in place special arrangements to ensure that the market traded as normal this week.
I'm sure there were others who were directly involved as well. So I would like to say to them, and indeed to all our staff, a sincere thank you for getting on and delivering our services to local people under difficult circumstances.
I certainly hope we all have a quiet and peaceful weekend.
