Stephen Hammond, the Conservative MP for Wimbledon, has announced on social media that he intends to hold a public meeting on crime.

It is understood that he was prompted to arrange the event following the issue being continually raised by his constituents.

He said on a video published on his Twitter account, “Everybody is worried about crime. There is lots we can do. I want to work with you, the local community, the local police.”

The meeting is to take place on Wednesday 21 June at a central Wimbledon location to be confirmed.

There will be an opportunity to put your questions on crime and policing in the constituency both to the MP and local police officers.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.
