Transition Westcombe and other Transition Towns in Greenwich are joining together to organize meetings about issues which affect a wide area, and are forming a network called Transition Greenwich.

The latest Children and Young Peoples Scrutiny Panel has highlighted worrying data on the prospects for looked after children in Greenwich.  The meeting focused on Greenwich Council's performance in meeting certain local and national targets for educational standards, outcomes for looked after children, supporting parents, improving access to services for young people and improving behaviour. 

Greenwich Conservatives have outlined how they would put more Police on the beat in Greenwich.
Conservatives would fund extra Safer Neighbourhood Teams to be based initially in the three main town centres in Eltham, Greenwich and Woolwich. We believe that each of these town centres has its own specific challenges which require attention from a dedicated police team and this would allow residential areas to get the attention they deserve.

In Labour’s March Budget, the Chancellor announced that Britain would spend more on debt interest (£43bn) than Transport (£22bn), the Police (£36bn) or Defence (£40bn) next year. As David Cameron said "the only thing Labour bring are debt, waste and taxes".
