Worried about crime? Have your say!

Police stock image

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.

Labour is being careless with your money and failing on crime

At Labour’s Westminster City Council budget last week, I made Westminster Labour answer for their reckless spending and weak action on rising crime and declining street standards. Westminster Labour has wasted £27 million on a failed housing contractor, self-awarded senior Labour councillors pay rises of up to 62 per cent and are projected to hike your Council Tax by 75 per cent over the next four years.
