Overview & brief history
Portsoken Ward is situated at the eastern border of the force
area and stretches from the Middlesex Street housing estate in the
north to the Mansell Street housing estate at the south,
encompassing most of the residential population in the East Area.
This Ward also includes several large multi-occupied business
premises, Aldgate Underground Station, a wide range of retail
outlets, licensed restaurants and bars, St Botolph without church
at Aldgate, the Sir John Cass primary school and a Travelodge
hotel.
Persons of a diverse ethnic background populate the ward.
Middlesex Street estate incorporating Petticoat Square and
Petticoat Tower, historically was an estate where many Jewish
families resided and while this is still evident today, this
situation appears to be changing. The area is increasingly becoming
the home for young families of an ever more diverse background.
The Mansell Street housing estate, incorporating Guinness and
Iveagh Court, is home to mainly Asian residents who comprise around
75% of this population. These residential estates create the
majority of work for the Ward Constable whose role it is to liaise
with partners to resolve any issues or problems that occur.
As well as being invited to attend various ward community
meetings, panels and social events the Ward Constable holds regular
surgeries on the estates that provide an open forum for residents
to drop in and discuss concerns or seek advice. Regular personal
contact is also made with the business community to ensure any
issues they may have are addressed.
