Weir Estate Residents Association has once again hit the headlines following a presentation to the local policing team. The story which was first published here on WERA.ORG.UK earlier this month has now been featured in The South London Press newspaper.

A framed certificate which was presented to the Thornton Ward Safer Neighbourhood Team in recognition of the effort in reducing crime on the estate as well as improvements in working with the estate’s Association.

The Metroplitian Police Service in Lambeth, have been so overwhelmed by award they requested a photo shoot with current Chair, Dave McEvoy for publications across the borough as well for internal magazine ‘The Job’ distributed to every police station across London.

The SNT who are said to be ‘proud and overwhelmed’ by the recognition from WERA along with Dave McEvoy have now been featured in the South London Newspaper, The South London Press this week, highlighting the achievement  of the team and the work carried out with WERA to bring a safer and crime free estate.

WERA’s Communications Officer, Kieran Casey, explained how the current Chair, has strived to continually raise the profile of the estate and show what work can be carried by working partnerships to improve the community “Dave McEvoy, as the current WERA Chair continues to raise the profile of both the estate and the association by working with those agencies and organisations providing services to the estate and the wider community. Through these partnerships, we have seen improvements to services provided to the estate.”
He went to add “WERA is committed to working with service providers to make our local community a better place to live and work.”
