Live web chat with Islington council and police

Islington Council is teaming up with the Met police in Islington to host a joint

live web chat - the first of its kind in the borough.

Leader of Islington council, Cllr Catherine West,

and Islington's Acting Borough Commander Simon Corkill will be online to answer

questions on Thursday, July 12 from 6.30-8pm.

The web chat, called Ask Islington, is a unique

opportunity for members of the public to ask questions about council or

policing issues in their local neighbourhood.

It is also part of the Met Commissioner's commitment

to hear directly from the public, to find out views on how the Met can give a

better service.

Cllr West said: "We're on the side of residents and

committed to a safer Islington with less crime and anti-social behaviour. We

work very closely with police and this web chat offers a new way to contact us

directly"

Acting Borough Commander Simon Corkill, said: "This

is a fantastic opportunity for the police and council to come together and

answer questions and concerns that affect residents in Islington."

To take part, simply submit a question in the

viewing window below when the session is live. There is no need to log in and

you can ask questions completely anonymously.

Simon Corkill and Cllr West will try and answer as

many questions as possible during the session.
