Government Announces New Specialist Unit

This morning, the Home Office have announced a new, specialist unit to target shops on our high streets acting as fronts for illegal activity. This is backed by a £20 investment to create the National Crime Agency team dedicated to cracking down on criminal activity.

Last month, I presented our petition from local residents in Enfield and Haringey calling for more action from the Government to crack down on this issue and support our local community.

While this step forward is welcome, I will continue to call for increased powers for local authorities to tackle this growing issue. on our high streets.
