Lib Dem councillor Gail Engert welcomed the part played by Muswell Hill Safer Neighbourhoods police team in crime-crackdown ‘Operation Resolve’ on Tuesday 21st June. The one-day operation, aimed at tackling anti-social behaviour and violent crime, was held last week across Haringey and other north London Boroughs.

Cllr Engert joined Police Sgt Paul Saunders and other local officers for a briefing on Muswell Hill roundabout and then accompanied them on local bus routes in the area as they began their latest campaign to cut crime in the area.

She is delighted to have joined the officers and has welcomed the operation that covered crime and anti-social behaviour on public transport routes – something that many residents have raised with local Lib Dem councillors.

Cllr Engert is hopeful that this operation will give the many residents concerned about crime, particularly on public transport, more confidence with a visible police presence.

Cllr Gail Engert comments:

“I welcome any police initiative that focuses on bus routes and helps to deter the sort of anti-social behaviour and potential crime that can happen on the top decks of buses.

“I hope that this operation might be repeated at regular intervals.”
