On Friday Jon Cruddas MP launched a campaign Calling Time on Crime.

This campaign comes as a response to rising violent crime across Dagenham and Rainham over the past 12 months, and it is something that the CLP fully supports.

The Mayor of London is doing what he can to support the Met Police, but ultimately it is just a drop in the ocean compared to over £700m worth of Tory cuts which have left London with 21,000 fewer police officers since 2010.

We’re urging residents to sign Jon’s petition demanding that the government step up and give our police the support they need to keep our streets safe. You can fill out his survey and sign the petition by clicking HERE

You can also help by Tweeting @JonCruddas_1 and @DandR_CLP using the graphic found HERE and the hashtag #CallingTimeOnCrime 

Residents wishing to join the campaign and collect signatures down their street can email andrew.achilleos@parliament.uk to get a petition sent out to them in the post.

The Dagenham and Rainham Labour Party will be taking this campaign out on the doors in the coming weeks, collecting signatures for the petition across the constituency. If you’d like to get involved please contact dandr_labour@outlook.com
