Enfield Council is hosting a public meeting to discuss ways of tackling an increase in youth violence in the borough.
The event will take place at Community Towers in Fore Street, Edmonton, at 10am on 28 July and feature speeches from politicians, youth workers, police officers and members of the public as well as group discussions about what should be done to tackle the issue.
The newly elected Leader of Enfield Council, Cllr Nesil Caliskan, has already made tackling youth violence one of her main priorities. She said: “Violence against young people is a problem for everyone and the whole community needs to stand together and play a part in tackling it. We share our residents’ concerns and are doing everything we can with our partners in the police to tackle those problems. This meeting will help residents help us to come up with solutions to youth crime and tell us of their experiences and how we can help.”
