Keep our area safe with more police officers

Yesterday evening, I led the Adjournment Debate in the House of Commons on ‘Violent Crime and antisocial behaviour in Carshalton and Wallington. 

This morning I met with senior Sutton Police leadership to discuss the recent knife crime attack which has taken place. I am pleased to hear that an arrest has been made, and I want to thank the responding officers for their efforts in recent days.

Today, the Prime Minister set out the Government's plans to end the scourge of anti-social behaviour.

Earlier today, I held one of my regular meetings with our Borough Commander, Chief Superintendent Dave Stringer.

My regular meetings with the Borough Commander are a useful way for us to discuss ongoing issues and to flag anything that may be important going forward.

Anti-social behaviour on Roundshaw Downs has been going on for too long with no dedicated plan from Sutton Council to make the area safer for residents.

This evening I held a Moped Crime Public Meeting for local residents along with representatives from Sutton Police, Neighbourhood Watch and more. 

Last night I welcomed tougher sentences for the most dangerous criminals and a range of measures to reform our justice system.

I met virtually today with a group of parents who had lost their children to drugs, and their respective MPs, from a range of political backgrounds.

This afternoon I met virtually with Chief Superintendent Dave Stringer, Borough Commander for Croydon, Bromley and Sutton Police, to discuss ongoing operational matters and to raise specific concerns that constituents have highlighted with me in recent weeks.
