Call for Safer Neighbourhood scheme to become 24/7

 Cllr. Paul Johnston has called for the Metropolitan Police to make the successful Safer Neighbourhood project a full time operation instead of a five day a week one as at present. He pointed out to last night’s meeting of the SNT liaison group for Surbiton Hill that Hammersmith and Fulham LBC had found funds to do this in some wards out of its own budget. ‘Mayor Livingstone might reorder his priorities to roll out this policy across London,’ he suggested, adding ‘he could start by sacrificing some of his missions abroad!’
