Priority:
Violence Against Women & Girls (VAWG)
Action taken:
In the Kenton East ward around places like Queensbury Circle, Queensbury Park, Kenmore Park Playground, local markets and bus stops. We organise weekly "Women's Safety Walk, Talk, and Do" sessions, where in partnership with the Harrow Council VAWG officer and inviting local councillors to join. These sessions allow women in the community to share their concerns, talk about safety in the area and take actions to make our community safer. We have increased high visibility patrols (HVP) in main hotspot areas that have been highlighted as concerns. This helps to ensure a stronger presence and make these areas safer for everyone. Additionally, to support upcoming Global initiative "16 days of Activism against Gender - Based Violence" (from Tuesday 25th November to Wednesday 10th December), we will also be holding a series of Women’s Safety Sessions across the ward.

To target Burglary and Vehicle Crimes such as theft from vehicles or theft of vehicles. We have organised a local operation where officers have made arrest in relations to the burglaries and stolen goods. Additionally, we organised crime prevention street briefings and shared crime prevention and visit every victim of these crimes to provide reassurance. Burglary and Vehicle Crime Prevention advice was also sent out through our new Community Crime Fighting Platform "Met Engage" to all ward residents. These efforts are aimed at keeping our community informed and safe.
