It has achieved the SBD Gold Award for physical security of buildings and including crime prevention principles into the layout and landscaping. On receiving her award, Christine said: “I am extremely pleased with this award and I accept it on behalf of Tower Hamlets. There is a lot of poverty and anti-social behaviour in the area and this award is a boost for the community – and an award for them.” Inspector Matt Turner, Metropolitan Police, said: “Christine has done a great job delivering this development at Bow Square Garden. It will have a lasting impact on the local community and also help reduce demand on policing and wider public services. This is just one example of the many large scale developments that Christine and the Met DOCOs are working on and the award is well deserved.” Issue Takeover Magazine Sponsor
