We’ve been calling for a joint agency taskforce to deal with ASB and crime in Brixton since the start of our campaign. This week local MPs, Met Police, Lambeth Council, British Transport Police, NHS mental health and addiction services, rough sleeping services, the Safer Business Network, Brixton Business Improvement District and ACTION on ASB! came together to agree on new ways to collaborate to improve safety in Brixton. Really significant step forward in making change happen!
Only Labour responds to ASB questions ahead of 7 May Lambeth elections
Ahead of the Lambeth local elections on 7 May, ACTION on ASB!, the Young People’s Movement and Brixton BID invited the four political parties standing candidates in every seat across the borough (Conservatives, Green Party, Liberal Democrats and Labour), to respond to a set of questions on tackling anti-social behaviour. We received a response only from Labour. No responses were received from the other parties. While Labour’s engagement is welcome, the lack of response from others is disappointing.
