hi @rushanaraali , just chasing for that date to meet the local #smallbusinesses who have been victims recently to vandalism and break ins? I have a spreadsheet of 29 businesses, 20 of which are in your area. Is this a priority? #bethnalgreen #rushanaraali
Thanks for your support @BigHospitality

There's also a considerable amount in your area (6) @MHillierMP Perhaps you can join the meeting if you have any concerns over this lack of safety?

Thanks for your support as always, Dan! 🧡
Please help #FlatEarthPizzas if you can. Their restaurant windows were smashed by a vandal and they are crowdfunding to pay for shutters to keep the premises safe gofundme.com/f/help-flat-ear… cc @SarahBrading

Can’t wait to hear back re: meeting regarding this. So many broken businesses in your borough. Interesting to see if this is of interest – at Camberwell, London

This is awful. Please report to the police if you’ve not already done so. Please also email my office via [email protected] with details, including your contact details and we will also follow up with the police. Many thanks.
Another restaurant down the road has also been smashed in. @SadiqKhan when you spoke on @StevenBartlett ‘s podcast re: safety on the streets, what exactly did you mean? #sadiqkhannot – at Camberwell, London
My sister’s London restaurant had seven of its windows smashed in this week by a man with a hammer. 30 other businesses have had the same recently too. No help from the @metpoliceuk or @SadiqKhan Horrifying to think this guy’s just walking round with a hammer in his pocket.
Omg I have. What a joke.
@Ben_And_Max Hi @SarahBrading Just a reminder to get back to us so we can take some further details. teapaw.org/messages/compose?recip…
Hello @SadiqKhan you need to keep us safe too but you’re ignoring us. Ps. Just walked past another restaurAnt near mine and it’s also been done in. Same night. Where’s the support! #sadiqkhannot – at Hackney, London
Shocking & senseless. The @metpoliceuk must take action to protect small businesses from such attacks:
Supporting victims how? I’ve desperately tried to get hold of you to discuss 30 small businesses who are victims and no one is getting back to me. A man with a hammer in his pocket! All talk no action ? – at Camberwell, London
Crime blights lives. It’s often a devastating, violating & traumatising experience for victims.
Today at #LDNVictimsSummit23 I'll be speaking about the criminal justice reform our country desperately needs & what we’re doing to support victims in London.

Today’s article in @Caterertweets re: the spate of crimes on small biz recently including my own.
Any #journos from the likes of the @EveningStandard @standardnews @MetroUK ? 30 recent businesses!
Hi @rushanaraali did you receive my email that I'd sent before the tweet? Can you respond please? Can you ask the @metpoliceuk to as well? Noone's taking us seriously

Hi @SadiqKhan there's a man walking around with a hammer in his pocket, smashing up restaurants. Is it unreasonable to think he could use it on a person too? I've emailed you about this but had no response. The @MetCC @metpoliceuk haven't followed it up either. Where's the safety – at Hackney, London
HELP @SadiqKhan . Small businesses won't survive. We need to feel safe in your (our) city. #bethnalgreen #london #helpus
7 of our #restaurant windows have been smashed in. This is senseless attack will cost us £££. Same for 25 other local businesses. 3rd time in a yr. There’s a man with a hammer in his pocket walking round #eastLondon at night.Please help @rushanaraali @metpoliceuk #smallbusinesses

Being a woman: my "outside" day finishes at sundown. If I haven't taken the dog for a walk/jogged by then, I can't. In the winter, it often means the choice between exercise and work. Today, I had to stop work at 4 to exercise. My husband worked until 6, and is now off for a run.

What happened to Sarah Everard has hit home hard for so many women because we make the calculations she did every day too. We take the longer, better-lit route, push the fear aside for the voice that says ‘don't be daft, you've every right to walk home alone at night and be safe’
