Our team has been helping residents since we heard about the flood last night. People whose homes were affected have been moved to temporary housing, and we're offering support. We'll be cleaning the street and working with @ThamesWater and others to plan repairs.

We’re working hard to make Finsbury Park cleaner and safer this summer. Regular patrols by the council’s Neighbourhood Patrol teams, Parkguard, and police recently helped cut anti-social behaviour in the area by 50%.
This summer, town centres and high streets will see more police, as part of our collaborative work to tackle shoplifting, theft and anti-social behaviour. We’re working with the Met, local partners and community groups to build safer town centres and a safer London for everyone.
