Listening to local people in SW1

Cllr Mark Shearer has been speaking to local people living near Westminster Abbey today. Locally, people are worried about Great Peter Street, the crime there, the anti-social behaviour, the drug dealing. So we have a six-point plan around that to really tackle it as councillors. There are also concerns about development and rat-running traffic.

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.
