Kate Garrett - Leading the campaign to cut cut crime

It was reported this week that burglaries have fallen in London but have increased in Redbridge.The local Guardian reported that thieves have targeted wealthier parts of the borough like Wanstead looking for richer pickings.The High Street is reportedly going through an outbreak of crime with robberies and muggings. Kate Garrett is leading the campaign to cut crime. She says "We need the following four actions in order to cut crime in Wanstead"; a local 'Shop Watch' scheme where police shops and Government come together to make our High Street safer; more 'Neighbourhood Watches' in the area, where residents and police work together to cut crime and burglary; the Council to increase CCTV in the High Street and the police to increase their patrols locally. Working together is the only way we can cut crime. If you would like to join my campaign and help cut crime in our area then please telephone me on (020) 8989 2266.
