Street Crime in London Is Out of Control – The Government Must Act now!
We call on the UK Government to urgently address the surge in phone and street theft in London. The Mayor of London has failed to protect Londoners. We demand increased police funding and national oversight to hold local authorities accountable when public safety standards are not met.

Background
Living in London is becoming increasingly dangerous. Street crime has become a daily threat, and many of us feel unsafe simply walking outside. The fear of being attacked, robbed, or targeted is real and constant. This is not normal. It’s the Government’s responsibility to step in, restore public safety, and hold those in charge—especially the Mayor of London—accountable for this failure. Without urgent action, confidence in policing and leadership will continue to collapse.
