The national weapons surrender scheme has added a fourth bin in Thamesmead, specifically designed for dangerous items like ninja swords, set to be banned from August 1. Individuals can dispose of these items safely and anonymously, reducing penalties associated with possession. FazAmnesty will also operate a mobile surrender van, offering similar disposal services. Previous installations of surrender bins led to the removal of 214 weapons from the streets. Councillors emphasize the importance of these measures for community safety.
