Thanks to all the Wanstead businesses, councillors, Met officers, and council staff who joined our recent high street forum. It was an honest and constructive discussion about how we tackle crime and anti-social behaviour locally.

As part of Anti-Social Behaviour Awareness Week, I’m hosting an online public forum on Tuesday 1st July alongside representatives from Redbridge and Waltham Forest Council’s ASB team and the Metropolitan Police.

We addressed the urgent and deeply concerning situation on Selby Road. The area has been severely affected by Drug and gang activity, causing significant harm to our community.
