Sarah Jones MP Standing Up For Croydon
Harris Academy South Norwood leaders have contacted me recently about the concerning rise in crime around the High Street. Rightly, they aren’t willing to tolerate streets that feel less and less safe to local children and families. Nor am I.
In response, last Friday, I hosted a productive meeting with the MET Police, the headteacher of the academy, local councillors, and Reaching Higher to address this unacceptable situation and ensure the safety of students, staff, and the wider community.
During the meeting, we discussed a range of solutions, including additional policing support in the area.
We also agreed on the importance of holding regular meetings to ensure everyone has the support they need, that efforts remain coordinated, and that we regularly assess progress.
This is just the beginning of many conversations about how we can make the area safer. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at sarah.jones.mp@parliament.uk.
