A ROADSHOW on how the Mayor of London is tackling crime in the capital comes to Barnet next week.

Deputy Mayor for policing Kit Malthouse will be heading up the Metropolitan Police Authority’s (MPA) event at the artsdepot in Tally Ho Corner, Finchley, on Thursday, June 16.

Residents will be able to quiz him on how they are tackling things like violent crime, and what is happening to improve safety in town centres, how youngsters are being given other opportunities and issues around transport.

Mr Malthouse said: “Together with the Mayor I remain dedicated to tackling the causes of violence across London. It is our intention that these roadshows will provide the public with a way of contributing to the question of how we address violent crime and put into action effective and focused delivery.

“We all recognise the ongoing financial landscape provides real challenges, so all partners, with input from our local communities, must work determinedly to identify those initiatives that really work to prevent and reduce violence.”
