“Our positive and solid partnerships with Redbridge Council and other local organisations have made a real contribution to meeting our targets for reducing crime and the fear of crime and to making Redbridge one of the safest boroughs in London.

“We work together extremely well in finding solutions to keep our community safer and to tackle problems of anti-social behaviour, and the support of the Council has been vital to the success of the Safer Neighbourhood Teams across the Borough”.

Dave Grant, Borough Commander, Metropolitan Police

"Redbridge PCT is committed to giving everyone in Redbridge the same opportunities to make best use of local health care and lead a healthy life.

"This fits very well with the Council’s aim of making Redbridge ’a better place for care’ and I am proud of the way that our services and teams work so well together.

"We have a very effective and forward-thinking partnership. This enables us to share our resources and make best use of the funding available for health care in Redbridge, as well as providing health and Council services all in one place, such as the new Children’s Centres.  We also work together to come up with new and innovative ideas and services to promote good health. All this can only contribute to a healthier Borough."

Heather O’Meara, Chief Executive, Redbridge Primary Care Trust.
