Crime (London)

Kensington and Chelsea council says that burglaries have been ““slashed””, and that"““Kensington and Chelsea residents are less likely to be a victim of burglary today than at any other time this century.””" I come to Redbridge council—is anyone from Redbridge? The council welcomes the reduction in street crime by a third and attributes that to the safer transport teams, which are part-funded by the Mayor of London. Wandsworth council says:"““Despite recorded crime falling in the UK and burglary at its lowest for decades in London, research shows that a third of people believe crime has risen 'a lot'.""By helping to make people feel safer in their community, Safer Neighbourhoods Teams will provide reassurance to help bridge this gap.””" Clearly, Wandsworth council regrets the fact that Conservative members of the Greater London authority consistently voted against the Mayor's budgets that introduced the safer neighbourhoods teams.
