Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps his Department is taking to provide sufficient CCTV coverage in Romford; and whether his Department has conducted a recent assessment of the potential merits of providing additional funding for CCTV.

The Department has not conducted a recent assessment of the potential merits of providing additional funding for CCTV in Romford.

The Safer Streets Fund, which is administered by the Home Office, provides local organisations with the resources they need to tackle crime through evidence based and innovative interventions including improved CCTV.
