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.
We attended the Lambeth’s Night Time Economy Strategy

Last week, ACTION on ASB! attended the launch of Lambeth’s Night Time Economy Strategy 2025–2030, which sets out how the borough plans to manage and support activity, safety and public space between 6pm and 6am.
We’ve been calling for a joint agency taskforce to deal with ASB and crime in Brixton!

We’ve been calling for a joint taskforce on ASB and crime in Brixton since the start of our campaign. This week, local MPs, the police, council, health services, businesses and community groups came together to agree new ways of working to improve safety in Brixton. A significant step forward in making change happen.
