• SADIQ Khan launched his mayoral campaign and didn’t even mention crime as an issue.

I’m sure readers will know that knife crime in London has hit a record high and murder rates are at an 11-year high.

I know soaring levels of crime is a top concern for Londoners and it’s my number one priority.

It’s clear the mayor doesn’t want his record on crime discussed in this election, but I’ve had enough of standing by and letting victims of crime go unheard.

I’m making a public appeal to hear your readers’ experiences of crime in London.

I want to hear from Londoners directly, whether it’s to tell me their house was burgled, or their phone was stolen, or they don’t feel safe walking home from the tube. I want to know. Every crime story matters. And every victim of crime should be heard.

I want to be a platform for Londoners. We must make London safe, and part of triggering that change is hearing from your readers and understanding what they think needs to be done.

So I’m asking your readers to share their stories by sending me an email at shaun@shaunforlondon.uk or www.fb.com/ShaunBaileyUK/
