Vehicle seizure We supported Civic Pride to highlight the seizure of two vehicles linked to fly-tipping in the borough.   Wall of Shame: Assets and video created for the February edition of Wall of Shame, which is now live on the microsite. The February Wall of Shame will continue to be promoted over the next couple of weeks. The story is also live on our homepage.   Play Streets: We continued to promote Redbridge Play Streets, including call to action to get applications in by Wednesday 22 February deadline date.   Redbridge Climate Change Forum: We have been supporting Civic Pride to promote the next Redbridge Climate Forum being held Tuesday 28 February.

Cost of Living Comms have continued to promote interim Hainault Hub pilot across all social media channels and have promoted Redbridge Institute Manage your Money sessions at Redbridge Central Library across social media channels.

Safer Redbridge: We've been speaking to Channel S, a UK-based television channel targeting the British Bangladeshi community, about visiting the CCTV Control Room in Ley Street. Channel S will be visiting the Control Room on Friday 24 February, and Cllr Khayer Chowdhury will lead the tour.   Much like last week's visit by MyLondon, this will allow channel S to see the work we're doing behind the scenes to make the borough safer. It will also be a further opportunity to highlight how Jordan McSweeney, the man who murdered Zara Aleena, was caught so quickly due to the work of our CCTV Team, who passed on footage of McSweeney to the Police.   We will also have the Challenger situated at Ley Street, with a member of staff who can be on standby to demonstrate its various gadgets and technical features.
