What I would like to see, and I want to know if you will be doing this, is publishing at every borough level what the arrangements are within that borough, so people know how to access the system and local councillors address the right level of consultative structure.

Chair, I think we should congratulate the police on the success that they have had in detection and prevention so far, and I think you mentioned a couple of the cases, and obviously prevention always happens; success is quiet in this context, and failure is very, very, very loud and public. Are you satisfied with both the current legislative context in which you have to work to do this prevention and detection, and what is your view of the Government's proposed control orders?

Is there consistent high performance and best practice amongst London boroughs on their use of ASBOS, Section 30 notices, parenting orders and evictions to deal with crime and antisocial behaviour? How would you like to see Council's improve their performance on antisocial behaviour?

Some district centres - such as Crystal Palace triangle cross over more than one Borough policing command. (5 Boroughs meet at Crystal Palace). This has the effect of diluting crime statistics and causing problems of co-ordination with fragmented response and follow up. What co-operation frameworks are you putting in place and what are the prospects of a cross boundary super neighbourhood team in areas split by administrative boundaries such as Crystal Palace, Camberwell and Herne Hill?

Youth gangs in Rotherhithe have unfortunately made front page headline news for two consecutive weeks in Southwark News on 12th and 19th May 2005. There were even cross-border movements of youth gangs from places like Lewisham to make trouble in Rotherhithe. Many people of Rotherhithe are very concerned with the latest surge in youth gang anti-social activities even before the start of the fast-approaching school summer holiday. Can you give a declaration of the Met Police's commitment that adequate policing resources will be made available and directed at combating crime and the fear of crime in Rotherhithe?

This team is a welcome recent introduction and is already making positive contribution to the collective efforts for combating crime and the fear of crime in Rotherhithe. The people of Rotherhithe have expressed an increasingly vocal and public concern that youth gang anti-social activities often take place during the weekends and after 10pm when there is restrictive or no safer neighbourhood policing team members to patrol the streets of Rotherhithe. Can Sir Ian Blair help to secure the additional policing resources to extend the working hours of the Rotherhithe & Surrey Docks Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team?
