Meg's Weekly Round-Up: Friday 30 January

See above for my weekly round-up of what I’ve been up to in Hackney and Westminster.

This week:

• I was out and about in Hackney Wick with the local councillors speaking with local businesses and residents.

• The Government published its draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill which, amongst other measures, will cap the ground rent for existing leaseholds properties to £250 year.

• The Home Secretary announced the most serious reform to policing in a generation. It will empower local police officers to spend more time focusing on the day-to-day basics such as tackling shoplifting, antisocial behaviour, and keeping neighbourhoods safe through regular patrols.
