Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of neighbourhood policing levels in East London.

The Home Secretary has made a clear commitment to strengthen neighbourhood policing through the introduction of a Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee, which includes the addition of thousands more neighbourhood officers and other police personnel, as part of the Government’s Safer Streets mission. Funding for 2025/26 will be subject to the Spending Review.
