Following the tragic shooting of a teenager in Wood Green last week, David Lammy (MP for Tottenham) and I met with the Borough Commander of Haringey Police at the Gold Group to discuss steps forward in tackling gang-related violent crime in the borough.

I have also tabled a number of parliamentary questions to the Home Secretary on what steps the Government will be taking to address the recent surge in violent crime in London.

In October 2017, I secured a debate in Parliament to press the Minister at the Home Office on cuts to police funding and urge him to review these measures, and invest in protecting our communities.
