This month, the Minister for Policing visited Windrush Square to launch the Brixton Safe Hub, a new community safety initiative in the heart of Brixton. Operating on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, this space provides practical support for anyone feeling unsafe. Staffed by Brixton BID’s street team, it offers everything from phone charging to first aid. It is part of local efforts to tackle knife crime, anti-social behaviour and the harassment of women and girls in this area. It’s vital that everyone in our area feels safe when walking around Brixton Town Centre. With knife crime in Lambeth falling by 36% year on year, hopefully this will help continue the downward trend.
