How to cut crime in London
April 10th, 2008 by Cllr Bob Belam
| Eleven of our young people have been murdered on London’s streets this year alone. Twenty-seven were murdered last year.There are many things that the Mayor of London can get themselves involved in but this awful collection of human tragedies demonstrates why cutting crime is right at the centre of my priorities. This is what being Mayor of London should be about: not the showbiz trappings or the ‘London embassies’ around the world.
I know from my thirty years of policing the streets of London and listening to local communities that simply talking tough isn’t enough. You have to deliver results. Instead we have Ken Livingstone criticising the media for reporting these appalling tragedies and claiming that there is nothing he can do about it - and Boris Johnson thinking that taking away a free bus pass will solve the problem. This simply is not good enough. That’s why I’ve promised to cut crime by 5% each year in my first term - or I’ll quit. So one action I will take is to get knives and guns off our streets. There are evil criminals who fully deserve our moral condemnation and firm punishment, but that’s not the full story. We all (at least nearly all of us!) have done things we shouldn’t have from time to time when we were young. Some are trivial, some are far worse. But if you have a gun or knife in your hand the consequences of even a brief mistake can be awful. Condemning the person, their family, or society isn’t enough - we need to get the guns and knives out of people’s hands. We should use intelligence led stop and search. At the moment, less than one in five stop and searches is looking for weapons. That’s because the police are trying to hit perverse targets rather than being able to concentrate on what really matters. I want to see more officers patrolling the transport network and I want to work with local communities to help tackle crime in their areas with their solutions. We need to make it easier for people to contact their local police team so I am committed to stopping police station closures, and making sure that it’s fully trained police officers we put out on the streets of London. Cutting crime will require all of us - police, residents and those you choose to elect - to work together. With your support on May 1st we can get down to work straight away. You can help bring that about by forwarding this email to your friends and by encouraging them to sign up at www.brianpaddick.org. Kind regards, Brian Paddick P.S. Encouraging your friends to sign up at www.brianpaddick.org takes only a moment, but is a really effective way of helping my campaign. Thank you. |

Brian Paddick for Mayor of London
April 10th, 2008 by Cllr Bob Belam
Nick Clegg supports Brian Paddick
Chapel End Focus Cllr.Team fully support Brian Paddick for Mayor of London and ask residents to vote Paddick as their first preference choice on May Ist.
Meral Ece is the Liberal Democrat first choice preference for the GLA Election on May Ist.
Brian Paddick former Deputy Assistant Commissioner, is the only London Mayoral candidate, who has earned the right to governance at City Hall, by dint of his 30 years, in the Metropolitan Police.
Brian was in charge of a multi-million pound budget and unlike the other two candidates, has already delivered a high rating in public service, whilst Borough Commander in Lambeth, in the 1990`s, when in charge of 200 Met.Police staff. Boris Johnson has only run his bath and thinks that removal of `bendy-buses’ cures everything from back pain to knife crime!
Brian aims to put his policing record to the best use to reduce crime on the streets by 20% or resign after 4 years. He has said that guns and knives must be removed from the streets by more honesty and human understanding between the police and people, so that people see the police on their side and report those who carry weapons of violence. The human object in this policy, is to win back public confidence and get the police and residents all working together again.
In Brian Paddick`s new `Contract with Londoners’ he has stated,
`We all have a responsibility to make London a safer place’.
Brian Paddick believes in practical solutions for Londoners: grants to prevent heat escaping in better insulation to keep pensioners warm in winter. New cheaper environmental zero carbon rated trams, to augment bus public transport, reduced traffic congestion and carbon emissions with fairer daily charges that do not penalise smaller vehicles, stop the `Third Runway’ at Heathrow and lend support for more affordable social housing for first time couples and singles, so to get a foot on the property ladder, and put an end to closure of post offices without proper local consultation consent.
Brian has said he is only prepared to serve the people in the Capital with the same integrity, human dignity and honesty that he made available on the streets of the City, for over 30 years, as an influential and caring public servant in the police.
Who do you want running your City Hall ?
The Chancer, the man who likes to tan in Venezuela or the former London Policeman?
