The Archway Community Safety Day organised by the Archway Town Centre Management Group brought together a variety of organisations who are involved in working to keep members of the public safe. Local residents came forward to seek advice on a range of issues, ranging from problems with anti social behaviour to keeping their property safe.  Hundreds of personal safety alarms, property marking pens, purse bells and oyster card holders with useful crime reporting numbers were given out to members of the public.
