The Crime and Policing Bill: Reactive Statement

25 February, 2025

Following the introduction of the new legislation today (25 February), read our Chief Executive Dee Corsi’s full statement in reaction to the measures below.

Dee Corsi, Chief Executive Officer, New West End Company said: “Today’s commitment from the government to enhance police powers to tackle anti-social behaviour and phone theft, alongside the scrapping of the counterproductive law that trivialised shoplifting of items under £200, marks a critical step forward in protecting our high streets. “The new standalone offence for assaulting shopworkers is a long-overdue measure that we and our peers in the industry have been calling for. However, these reforms must be backed by the necessary funding and resources for local policing to ensure that the public and local businesses feel safe and secure.

“We are committed to continuing our work with the Metropolitan Police and key partners in the West End to combat crime and ensure all visitors can enjoy the district.”

Dee Corsi

BETTER TOGETHER,

FOR GOOD.
