Wes Streeting for Ilford North
£1 billion cut from the Metropolitan Police, police numbers at the lowest in three decades, violent crime at its highest, knife offences at the highest since records began. Last night I voted against the proposed Police Grant because it fails to give us the funding we need for policing in our borough. You can sign my petition for more bobbies on the beat here: www.wesstreeting.org/police.
I mentioned public concerns in our community, not least those I heard just last weekend. You can watch the full speech below:
