Welcome to Inside City Hall series 3 episode 3

This special episode is all about Tackling London's Theft Epidemic, especially mobile phones and bikes.

The rest of this episode consists of the full as-live recording of our launch event in City Hall from last Tuesday, for those who weren't able to attend in person.

You'll hear me introduce the event, launching my new report.

Then Dr Lawrence Newport (10:58) independent researcher and founder of the Crush Crime campaign.
Then you'll hear from Chris Philp MP (21:15) the Shadow Home Secretary.

Finally we go to a Q&A with the audience (31:49) and some fascinating discussion and answers.

I hope you enjoy it and I hope to see you at our next City Hall event.

Series 3 Episode 2

We are so back! On Inside City Hall this episode, London Assembly Members Neil Garratt and co-host Emma Best discuss:

• Waste Of The Week. Through GLAP, the GLA owns 6.3 square km of London which was supposed to be redeveloped. It is many, many years behind schedule having languished under Mayor Khan, leaving the GLA parent at least £250m out of pocket.
• Police Budget Pressure (2:40). Thanks to the Mayor's spending choices, the Met is going to have to lose many officers. But how many? 2600? 1300? Some other number?
• Labour Attack On School STEM (6:29). Emma's motion to the Assembly challenging Labour's attack on maths, physics, computer science, and adult learning.
• Tackling London's Theft Epidemic (12:10). Neil's report launched on Tuesday with Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp and Dr Lawrence Newport founder of the Crush Crime campaign. We show how the fact that crime is concentrated among certain highly prolific offenders and in certain places, you can target them and get huge results.

Series 3 Episode 1

On Inside City Hall this episode, London Assembly Members Neil Garratt and new co-host Emma Best discuss:

• Election Results. Including a sales pitch for the modified d'Hondt electoral system used for electing Assembly Members.
• Tram Trouble. Rolling stock problems on the Croydon Tram, echoing Central Line problems. The repeated fares freezes sound good, but is it short-term gain, long-term pain as they drain capital investment from London's infrastructure.
• Pay Per Mile. The media have been reporting that Conservative pressure forced Mayor Khan to abandon plans for Pay Per Mile. That's curious because he never really admitted to having such plans! Regardless of your view, it would fundamentally change the way people think about the roads across London and such a change needs an open debate not to be snuck through.
