But anyway, I agree antisocial behaviour is a key priority (and identified as much by the council and police). Beyond that, pockets of drug dealing in parts of Stockwell, a spate of burglaries recently, and of course more serious offences on occasions such as stabbings. Though generally crime has fallen year on year for the last five years. Labour's investment in local police teams and better youth services has helped that, as well as demographic changes and general improvements in the economy, jobs etc. Well this is generally an interesting and thought out blogpost, though a little harsh to say all that we do @labourstockwell is post fear of crime videos on national issues – we have written several posts on local crime issues:
