Hosted by Barking and Dagenham Council, in partnership with Havering and Redbridge Councils, the event was attended by more than 240 delegates who looked at the issues around serious violence and shared ideas on solutions.

Havering Council is again promoting the Collective Energy Switching Scheme to help residents use their collective buying power to lower their energy bills. Energy companies will offer their lowest energy tariff in a reverse auction to people who have registered. The lowest bidder wins, and the customer wins.
For more information, and to register, click on the link below or call 0800 048 8112.
There is no obligation to take up the offer. It’s free to register and to switch if it’s a good deal for you.
