  "textContent": "\n\n\nLondoners have admitted the capital is getting less safe - just as Sir Sadiq Khan introduced a huge campaign against \"hate and disinformation\" about crime in the city.\n\nA new poll, conducted by JL Partners for the London School of Economics, found the majority of Londoners believe safety is on the decline.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe survey, shared with the Standard, asked adults two main questions related to safety.\n\nFirst, it asked if London had become more or less safe generally, then if living in London had become more or less safe for them personally.\n\nFor the first question, 61 per cent of women and 46 per cent of men said the capital had become less safe generally - representing 54 per cent of all London residents.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\nJust 17 per cent of Londoners said the capital was now safer, including 22 per cent of men and 13 per cent of women.\n\nIn terms of personal safety, 47 per cent of London residents felt the city had become less safe for them personally.\n\nThis represented 40 per cent of men and 53 per cent of women.\n\nJust 16 per cent of adults feel the capital is now safer for them personally - representing 11 per cent of women and 22 per cent of men.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTom Lubbock, the co-founder of JL Partners, said: \"When a majority of women in London feel the city is getting less safe then that is a blow for Sadiq Khan.\n\n\"No amount of crime stats can outdo that lived experience and the effects that it has on how people feel and live their lives.\"\n\nWhile Jenevieve Treadwell, a London politics fellow at LSE, said the figures showed responding to crime was \"of the utmost importance to Londoners and needs to be taken seriously by London's newly-formed councils\".\n\nWhen asked to pick two issues for their own council to focus on, 39 per cent named crime and anti-social behaviour, 38 per cent housing affordability and 25 per cent said wasting taxpayers' money.\n\n### LATEST ON LONDON:\n\n\n\n\n  * Sadiq Khan praises electric vehicle transition with huge milestone - 'Leading the charge'\n  * Sadiq Khan to hit drivers with higher Blackwall and Silvertown tunnel charges\n  * Council declares war with Sadiq Khan's TfL over Oxford Street 'stitch-up'\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nSir Sadiq, on Monday, unveiled a £7million campaign to tackle so-called \"disinformation\" about London which was damaging the tourism industry.\n\nThe Mayor of London is currently in Singapore at the World Cities Summit, a meeting between political leaders, planners, and business executives.\n\nHe has used the visit to raise concerns about global disinformation, having previously slammed politicians who paint a \"dystopian\" picture of London as a \"fallen city\".\n\n\"We know social media has been used as a platform by bad state actors, whether that's in China, Russia, or the Make America Great Again actors in the USA,\" Sir Sadiq told the BBC.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nDisinformation was also being spread by people in southeast Asia, including China and Japan, he added.\n\nCity Hall's Tory leader Susan Hall questioned the decision to spend public money to tackle \"disinformation\" - and told him to get back from Singapore and actually sort out crime.\n\nShe said: \"He's putting millions into looking at online disinformation... I don't want anonymous trolls obviously to make up lies about the city, but the Mayor can't try and suggest that anyone critical of his failure or record of failure is among those ranks.\n\n\"He just should be at home sorting issues out,\" she added.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
