Today we released the results of the Young Londoners Survey ahead of tonight's Young People's Question Time at the O2.One of the most encouraging pieces of news is that Young Londoners feel safer on the streets. 83% feel safe in their neighbourhoods up from 77% in 2004.
There is also a huge buzz about the Olympics too with 84% looking forward to the Olympics and 70% are confident that London can provide the job opportunities they want.
There are still too many young Londoners who have a tough time in London and no one a City Hall is going to get complacent but I'm really pleased with the direction that these figures are going.

Unfortunately only 64% feel safe on the streets outside their 'hood. That means that one in three children do not feel safe when they leave their immediate area. I don't think this is something to be proud of.
