Rejected

What the petition asks
There has been a rise in street robbery in East Finchley, Fortis Green and Muswell Hill.
As there has been a significant reduction in policing, and the local police stations have now closed we would at least like to have better street lighting and much more CCTV in the area.

In December, the figures show there has been a rise in street robbery in East Finchley of +14 offences in the period Oct-Dec compared to 2016. ABH and GBH are fairly consistent and consist mainly of DV matters and isolated incidents. Fortis Green has also experienced an increase in street robbery of +19 offences and is an ongoing issue.
