Sam Tarry MP, Ilford South Published: 9:45 AM August 4, 2021
Residents in York Road are concerned about antisocial behaviour, says Sam Tarry MP. - Credit: Archant Last week I convened a meeting for residents and businesses in the York Road area of Ilford to address the causes of crime and antisocial behaviour and see what can be done to tackle this issue once and for all. We live in a fantastically diverse and thriving community; however, it is often blighted by the undercurrent of issues such as drug dealing, drug use and related crime. So I was really encouraged to see more than 60 people pack out the meeting room, which demonstrated the level of concern and anger from residents and businesses in the York Road area.
