  • Wounding/GBH in Tower Hamlets

    • Reference: 2014/1283
    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 05 March 2014
    Recorded incidents of Wounding/GBH have increased in Tower Hamlets by 47% in the period 2012/2013 compared with the previous twelve months. Do you believe these increases are related to the fact that Tower Hamlets has seen a significant decline in police officers (21%) and PCOS (67%) since May 2010?

    Recorded incidents of Theft from Motor Vehicles and Motor Vehicle Interference & Tampering have increased in Tower Hamlets over the last twelve months by 9% and 14% respectively.

    In May 2010 there were 818 Police Officers in Tower Hamlets and now there are 646. In your Policing Plan you promise a total of 717 Officers. Are you satisfied that this number is sufficient to meet the policing needs, considering the number of PCSOs has been significantly cut?

    Statistics released towards the end of 2013 by the London Datastore showed that 81% of crimes in Newham remained unsolved in 2012/13. How then do you justify the cut of 50 police officer posts in the period May 2010 to December 2013?

  • Safer Neighbourhood Teams (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 05 March 2014
    I take it as genuine that the change in neighbourhood policing is intended to make London safer. This is a question to the Mayor. How do you deal with the fact that there has been a massive increase, more than doubling in recorded wounding and grievous bodily harm (GBH) under this new responsive model?
  • Terms of the termination of your engagement to which TfL have agreed. (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    Sally Hamwee (Chair): I explained when I wrote to you ' I think it was before Christmas ' that we would ask about the financial details because it is a very particular, very unusual position that you are in, very much one of public interest. John Biggs (AM): The question was to ask you for a list of the contractual benefits to which you are entitled up to 31 January. Could you tell us how many crates of claret, how many rooms at the Savoy, how many transatlantic flights, how many gold-plated telephones you get as part of your contract?
