Safer Neighbourhoods Programme

Lynne Featherstone
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much each London borough contributed to safer neighbourhood teams match funding in each of the last three years.

Mr. Coaker
We do not collect this information centrally. Local authorities, among other partners, are encouraged to provide matched funding to enhance community safety. Partnership working is key to successful delivery of neighbourhood policing and the more matched funding forces acquire, the better placed they will be to invest further in policing their local communities.
