Balancing the right to protest with the rights of local people to live peacefully

Across London and around the world, people are protesting against the ongoing human rights abuses in Iran, and we fully respect their right to make their voices heard.

However, it’s also important to recognise the impact protests can have on local communities. Earlier this week, Cllr Robathan joined police officers at Kingston House in Knightsbridge to listen directly to residents affected by the round-the-clock demonstrations outside the Iranian Embassy.

The right to protest must always be balanced with the rights of local people to live peacefully.

Its time for Safe Streets in Westminster

Under Labour, crime has got worse. Phone theft, antisocial behaviour, public disorder and drug dealing have all increased. People think twice before using their phone on the street. Shopkeepers have accepted shoplifting as a daily reality. Families avoid their local parks. And schools have lost community police officers. All under Sadiq Khan’s watch as Westminster Labour have overseen managed decline.
