Sadiq Khan announces £1.15 million for anti-knife crime projects
		
	MAYOR of London Sadiq Khan today announced a £1.15 million fund to support 34 more anti-knife crime projects.
Unmesh Desai, Labour’s London Assembly policing and crime spokesman, said that the announcement “dispels” criticisms that Mr Khan’s action on knife crime is “limited to an ad campaign.”
Earlier this year, London’s murder rate — which included knife and gun crime fatalities — surpassed that of New York for the first time in modern history.
