Thank you for your recent email updating us on the very important work being undertaken by the West End Drug Partnership and St Giles Reference Group. As you are no doubt aware, New West End Company was formed four years ago with a vision to revitalise London's West End. One of our key strategies is a safer and cleaner District. In July 2002 we launched two pilot schemes, the Red Caps and Clean Team who in addition to the Metropolitan Police and Westminster City Council own policing and cleansing services, provide an enhanced level of customer service, sense of safety and street management. I hope you will continue to keep us updated on your Association's progress.
