  • Reference: 2017/2972
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
According to local and national media there are hundreds of blocks of flats with cladding systems. Whilst steps are being taken by local authorities and some direction(s) emerging from Government, will you be addressing this issue on a Londonwide basis to ensure that there is a central register with accurate audit of numbers and data re the status of cladding systems including flammability etc. professionally assessed and recorded?

Knife & Violent Crime

  • Reference: 2017/2970
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
I reiterate my concerns about violent crime - particularly knife crime incidents we've faced in Brent this year. Locally, Brent Council is proactively working to address this issue but what help can we expect at local level from Mayor's strategy to tackle knife crime due to be launched shortly? How will the Boroughs like Brent and Harrow benefit directly from the Mayor's strategy?

MPS Digital Investigation Unit (1)

  • Reference: 2017/2968
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
The London Child Exploitation Needs Assessment found that: 'Online risks through social media are poorly understood and as a result there is limited identification of children & young people at risk of child sexual exploitation through this medium'. What is being done to address this?

Policing & Crime: Safety and Reassurance

  • Reference: 2017/2967
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
With the spate of terror attacks there is a great degree of anguish and concerns of safety at individual level as well as of public facilities such as community centres and places of worship. What is being done to promote reassurance and safety of places of worship?

Policing & Crime: Merger of Borough Commands

  • Reference: 2017/2966
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
As it is I'm sceptical of the merger of Borough Commands but given the increase in terror attacks and the dire need for visible local policing and local intelligence, it makes no sense in dismantling borough level policing structures. Is there any chance that you'd be prepared to review the ill-conceived plans founded under the former Mayor?

Policing & Crime: Police Station - Front Counters

  • Reference: 2017/2965
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
Former Mayor has already replaced front counters with 'contact points'. Press reports indicate plans to shut half of police station counters. Can you please confirm if this is true? If it is, please explain how this will work in terms of accessibility locally to report incidents and how this will help when crime is on the rise and there's immense fear in the community with incidents of terrorism?
