Romford BID to continue its financial support for Street Triage.

Romford BID is proud to confirm it will continue to cover costs for the Street Triage team in Romford town centre.  The team, consisting of two first responders and a security officer with a rapid response vehicle, offer support to injured or unwell people on nights out in the town centre.   

The Street Triage team act as a first response for police, pub staff, restaurant staff and street pastors and work hard to keep the town centre safe during weekends.

The Triage team work on a rotation sequence in Romford every Friday and Saturday between the hours of 10.00pm to 4.30am.

The team has been working in Romford for several years and has developed a working relationship with door staff, Havering enforcement teams and police, which is imperative given the vital support they offer the Street Triage team. They are dedicated to Romford town centre and play a key role in keeping people safe on nights out. Their valued work helps to reduce the amount of unnecessary ambulance call outs and trips to local hospitals, freeing up important NHS resources.

Julie Frost, Romford BID Director said, “It is important to recognise that having a broad range of bars and restaurants is only one part of encouraging visitors to come and invest in our night-time economy.  Being able to enjoy this environment, knowing that there are services available to support people should they get into difficulty, is also crucial when trying to create a truly great space.”

Julie continued, “The goal of Romford BID is to make Romford a great place to live, work and play. By funding the Street Triage team, the BID hopes to continue to attract more people to come and visit our town centre by ensuring that the environment that visitors come into is safe and secure for all.”

Carly Radley, Trident Medical Ltd, Managing Director said, “Everyone on a night out wants to have a good time, and remember it for all the right reasons, However, from time to time, accidents, attacks or sudden illness can occur. When they do its key that people can call on expert medical help immediately. This is why it is so important to have a street triage in Romford, Trident Medical are so grateful to Romford BID for their ongoing support and for making it possible for the street triage to continue.”
