Bow Square Garden was completed in
June 2019 with the last residents moving
in the month before. The school for 420
pupils was opened in October 2018 and
the Mosque in January 2017. A multiuse
games area was also provided. 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.”
