Current Priorities

Issue

Reducing Violent Crime (Robbery/ VAWG)
In line with MET policy. Reducing Robberies along Chamberlayne Road, Kensal Rise station and Purves Road.
To work in partnership with local community members and schools as a high proportion of robbery victims are of school age.
It had been reported that robberies were occurring along Chamberlayne Road mostly between the hours of 1500 -1700 hrs Monday to Friday and that the victims are of school age.
School children like to have the latest mobile phones or trainers for example which therefore makes them an easy target. Also things such as not being aware to keep personal items out of sight when walking from school (air pods, watches, jewellery)
Potential partners would be the street watch scheme as well as 'safer space/haven' imitative.
An increase in uniformed patrols and volunteers from the local community to provide a visible presence and deterrent.
