Hot on the heels of our post about the park, there is a new survey from Met Police, asking for your feedback on what matters most to you, with regards to crime and public safety.
Those who are signed up to Met Engage will have seen this already. For those who haven’t, this is an update from our Bromley Neighbourhood Policing Superintendent.
Dear All,
I wanted to write to you around the launch of the next phase of the Met’s Strategy, known as “New Met for London 2.” I was here in Bromley when the first iteration launched in early 2023 covering until 2025, and the Commissioner attended our launch event at the Civic Centre in Bromley in August 2023.
We have achieved a great deal since then, but of course still have a long way to go. We are starting to see some real successes and crime in key areas starting to reduce. Many of the headlines are covered in the draft consultation document.
What is crucial is that we listen to the views of communities here in Bromley to shape and refine this strategy. It is a detailed document but crucial that we get it right. You can have your say by completing this online feedback survey which will take 5-10 minutes where your views on what matters to Londoners, and more specifically Bromley’s communities will be captured. The survey will close on 14th September 2025.
Additionally, the Commissioner will once again return to Bromley for a public meeting to launch the new strategy, and to directly hear your views. This is scheduled for the evening of Thursday 4th December 2025. We are sourcing a venue but will aim for somewhere accessible and convenient for anyone who lives or works in Bromley. Last time this was a fantastic opportunity for members of the public to directly ask the Commissioner what they want to see from the Met.
We welcome your views and will update with more details on the December event as soon as a venue is secured
Kind regards,
Luke Baldock
Bromley Neighbourhood Policing Superintendent
Note: The draft consultation document is pretty hefty, but does contain some interesting (and speedy to read) information about what the Met has done, and what they’re planning to do.
