More Police for Finsbury Park
Islington’s Liberal Democrat-run council has welcomed news that Mayor Boris Johnson has agreed funding for extra transport police at Finsbury Park.
Finsbury Park station will in future have a dedicated team of Police officers based permanently at the bus station starting in the next few months. They will patrol the tube and overground stations too as well as the area around the station .
Liberal Democrat Councillor Laura Willoughby who has been a longstanding resident of Blackstock Road and Finsbury Park said: “This new police team is a welcome boost for the ongoing improvements the Council is making around Finsbury Park.
The Liberal Democrat council has already invested money in a special policing team for Nag’s Head and Finsbury Park, the North Islington Problem Solving Team, funded new lighting in Seven Sisters Road under the railway bridge and is working with businesses to make Blackstock Road a safer place .
These changes are already making people feel safer and making Blackstock Road and Finsbury Park a place people really want to visit, live and work in.“
