‘City a safe place’ - website

A website launched to compare councils across the UK has praised the City of London’s public services for effectively addressing community concerns.

The Oneplace website describes public services as "working well together to make the City a safe place." It goes on to say "Crime rates are low and have been going down steadily over the last seven years. There is less crime in the City than much of London and people feel safe living here."

The website uses an independent assessment to provide an overview of the area. It highlights that levels of anti-social behaviour remain low, and that community’s concerns regarding drunken and rowdy behaviour are being dealt with effectively.

Describing the City as a "a unique, historic place", the website also praises the support given by the Corporation to small businesses and local communities in the region around the City, which it describes as an "outstanding achievement".
