At the request of local Police to improve security, a team of volunteers from St Gabriels’ Church,led by local vicar James Yates, and supported by Veolia, pruned two very overgrown trees in a garden off Anson Road two weeks ago. Great community work.

Anson school concert went very well; the school hall was packed with adults and children and the varied musical programme of talented musicians was much enjoyed by everyone. Afterwards there was a party atmosphere as the school choir, the musicians and audience enjoyed drinks and refreshments. Maggie thanks everyone who contributed financially and helped practically - making this a very successful event; raising £2030 for the Amber Trust charity.

Parking Permits A member reports that Brent Councils residential parking permit has not been working properly and has been overcharging for low emission and electric cars. He was quoted £267 to renew online for an electric car rather than the £25 it should have been. It took an hour to sort it out on the phone. If it has happened to you in the past you can e-mail brent.permits@serco.com to query an old booking and get a credit.

Photographs of crime scene

Local police commander, Sara Leach sent the message below (abbreviated by me) about the police response to the recommendations of the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) into the taking of photographs and acting on the missing persons’ report following the murders of Nicole Smallman and Bibaa Henry, which have been published last week. The IOPC news statement is here
“The IOPC report has led to changes in how Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) managers tackle unprofessional behaviour in the ranks. Whilst the incident took place on North West area, the officers involved were from North East BCU and many of the initial recommendations were directed there. However wider steps have been taken across the Met to ensure that all officers and staff members have been briefed on standards, challenging others and professionalism. We have made significant changes to improve our standards and culture. The IOPC recommendations for the Met have been implemented.”

Anti-social behaviour consultation
|
|
|
Brent .has gathered views about anti-social behaviour and now want to consult on whether you agree to particular rules being put in place to tackle those issues. They propose merging three Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) into one with varying rules for each of the three areas:-
- Borough wide
- Parks, open spaces, cemeteries and graveyards
- Wembley Park (specifically rules around Wembley Stadium Events)
Your feedback will help shape the PSPO which gives council key workers and the police the powers to crack down on anti-social behaviour. You can view the full list of rules for each of the current PSPOs here. Have your say before 18 August 2022.
