Following a recent attack in Chalk Farm, where a 21-year-old was found with a gunshot wound, Brian Coleman asked the Mayor what he was doing in response to gang violence in Camden.

Brian Coleman, Assembly Member for Carnet and Camden, said,

“Gang violence is an ever-present concern in London and must be carefully monitored.  Alongside this horrific attack in Chalk Farm, there have been two brutal stabbings in the last three months.

Brian Coleman, London Assembly Member for Barnet, held a meeting at the site of the Henlys Corner works to broker a solution to the traffic chaos being caused by the improvement programme. Meeting with Chief Operating Officer of London Streets, Garret Emerson, Brian made it clear that the status quo had to change as many residents were being severely inconvenienced by the long traffic tail backs caused by the works.

At the meeting, Garret Emerson made a commitment to examine the possibility of re-phasing the traffic lights to improve traffic flows.

Brian Coleman, London Assembly Member for Barnet and Camden has praised the recent clampdown on nuisance pedicabs by the West End police. A joint operation was held on 14th April involving the Metropolitan Police, Westminster Council, UK Borders Agency, court appointed bailiffs and other partners. The operation tackled obstruction and riding offences including riding in a manner to cause danger to passengers committed by pedicab drivers, hackney carriage offences and unpaid court fines. Six pedicabs were seized and an arrest was made.

Brian Coleman spoke out in support of Home Secretary’s speech in Parliament on Monday. 

In December last year, Brian asked the Mayor of London to tackle violence at protests saying, “Would there not be a case for tightening up some of the laws around this? For example, surely nobody on a public demonstration needs to wear a mask.”
