Following shooting in York Gardens On March 29th
Jane Ellison, MP for Battersea, Balham and Wandsworth, has written to the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Bernard Hogan-Howe, following the shooting in York Gardens on 29th March.
In her letter, Jane asked Commissioner Hogan-Howe for an urgent update on the Metropolitan Police’s investigation of recent gun crimes in Battersea and about the London-wide strategy for tackling gang crime.

Although investigations are underway, I wanted to raise my constituents’ concerns about gun crime directly with the Commissioner. People in Battersea need to know what is happening to tackle this appalling spate of crimes”
