Castle Hill residents cite rising crime at community roundtable
Summary
At a Castle Hill roundtable, residents called for stronger partnerships with law enforcement and local organizations to address rising crime, describing safety as a top concern for neighborhood quality of life.
At a community roundtable at the Castle Hill Community Center, residents said rising crime is undermining their neighborhood's sense of safety and called for stronger partnerships between residents, law enforcement and local organizations.
"Neighbors spoke candidly about rising crime, the increasing cost of living, and the importance of protecting rent stabilized housing," Britney Schuyler reported for BronxNet. Residents asked for coordinated responses that combine community-led efforts and support from city agencies.
Attendees described specific safety worries and urged local leaders to prioritize programs that increase patrols, improve lighting and expand community-based violence-prevention work. The roundtable was organized to give residents a platform to raise those concerns directly with local leaders.
