Ensuring Merton remains one of safest boroughs in London
WHAT WE’VE DONE
Took Labour’s Mayor of London to court, forcing him to abandon his plans to close Wimbledon Police Station in 2018.
Lib Dems were the only party to respond to the Mayor’s latest proposals threatening our station – the Tories & Labour party did nothing!
Called a special Council meeting on violence against women & girls in which our proposals to ensure the Council takes practical steps to improve their safety were unanimously supported.
Pushing Council to become a leader in restorative justice, using Central Government funding to help, where appropriate, victims of crime confront the perpetrator in a controlled setting.
WHAT WE'LL DO
Continue fighting to stop the Mayor closing Wimbledon Police Station.
Prioritise restorative justice within Merton to cut fear of crime and reoffending.
Support the Borough Commander’s strategy to prioritise community policing.
Raise the profile of police ward panels and Neighbourhood Watch by holding public meetings to further develop community engagement.
Put greater emphasis on changing male, rather than female, behaviour in addressing violence against women and girls.
Address Anti-Social Behaviour in social housing by working with Clarion and other agencies.
