    Today, #AssemblyBudget wrote to the Mayor, calling on him to lobby the Government for sustained investment to support the delivery of productivity improvements across policing. Read the letter in full: london.gov.uk/who-we-are/wha…
    Neil Garratt AM
Chairman of the London Assembly
Budget and Performance Committee
“We are all acutely aware of the pressures facing the Met, and a number of ‘tough choices’ which have led to a reduction in visible policing on our streets.

“We also heard in our investigation how data from other police forces show that neighbourhood officers are spending on average 18% of their working time actually on patrol.

“Though these figures do not include London, they demonstrate how threadbare neighbourhood policing has become when funding is limited and inefficiency creeps in. They demonstrate the importance of the Met exploring new and more productive ways of working, freeing up officer time, and getting neighbourhood police back on the streets.”

    The Chair of #AssemblyEnvironment has set out concerns about unequal access to nature in London in a letter to the Mayor. london.gov.uk/who-we-are/wha…
    Gareth Roberts AM
Chair of the London Assembly
Environment Committee
“We seek clarity on how funding is being prioritised to improve equitable access to nature across London, including delivery of the Local Nature Recovery Strategy.

We also urge ambitious green space standards in the next London Plan and stronger TfL action to promote walking routes, so more people can benefit from everyday access to nature.”
