Worried about crime? Have your say!

As Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan is in charge of our police. Thefts up 31%. Sexual offences up 43%. Robberies up 58%. 

Khan's record on crime is clear. He’s lost control and he has no plan to fix it. Things need to change. On Thursday 2 May, you have the chance to elect the Conservative Candidate for Mayor of London, Susan Hall, and to re-elect your local Assembly Member Tony Devenish.

We are very concerned about the rise in crime and anti-social behaviour taking place in our part of Westminster. Susan Hall and Tony Devenish have launched a London-wide crime survey, and we encourage everyone to share views on how we can make both Westminster and London safer.
