§ Mr. BurstowTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects the Metropolitan Police to supply new Kat neighbourhood watch reflective street signs and window stickers showing the meerkat logo to neighbourhood watch members in the constituency of Sutton and Cheam. [93310]
§ Kate HoeyThe Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police tells me that the new Meerkat neighbourhood watch window stickers have been distributed to all divisions.
Since the launch of the sponsorship agreement between the Metropolitan Police and Yellow Pages in June 1999, 1,700 street signs have been erected in London, and a further 3,500 signs will be erected between now and the end of the year. It seems that Sutton's request for street signs was not received by the contractors. But arrangements to supply signs there are now in hand.
