  • Question by: Siân Berry

Crime in Burgess Park (1)

  • Reference: 2018/0141
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
A constituent informed me that they were violently attacked in Burgess Park, in Southwark, and believes that poor lighting in some areas of the park could be enabling certain people to carry out these crimes. What is the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) view on this and what action is being taken to work with the London Borough of Southwark to make any necessary improvements?

Dealing with 'low-level' crimes

  • Reference: 2018/0140
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
I understand that you have had discussions with the Justice Secretary about possibly extending a pilot scheme that would allow those accused of 'low-level' crimes to receive treatment rather than going to court. Have you now confirmed the extension of this pilot? How successful has the pilot been so far?

Public scrutiny of the police and MOPAC

  • Reference: 2018/0138
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
Thank you for your response to my question 2016/4619. The Policing Matters and Justice Matters public scrutiny meetings are happening less often now than under the previous Mayor. How can the public have confidence that MOPAC are holding the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) and other agencies to account when there are fewer public scrutiny meetings?

Thank you for your responses to my questions 2016/4614 and 2016/4613. Following the expansion of the close pass initiative from the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), could you tell me how many drivers in London have been a) processed for driving without due care, b) pulled over and spoken to, c) processed for red light/mobile phone related offences, d) reported for failing to stop, e) spoken to about general driving standards (including cyclists), and f) any other notable actions/offences? Please provide a breakdown for each month in 2017 and for each borough taking part in this initiative.

Lobbying for more youth services

  • Reference: 2018/0136
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
Thank you for joining me in calling on the Government to reverse cuts to youth services. In September 2017, the Government announced it would allocate £40 million of funding to youth services, but only £7 million went to youth services in London and these were all based in east London. Will you continue to lobby Government for more funding for youth services to help fill the large and growing gaps in other parts of London too?
