The Chair stated that the decision regarding the Knife Angel was taken by the Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and Community Safety so he would pass the question to him asking that he responds to Reverend Sampson-Smith.  With regard to the question relating to gang culture, he said this will form part of the discussion during Item 8 on the agenda – Update on the work of the South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit.
