Matters Arising

Policing Issues

It was reported that there had been an increase in assaults against the person reported in the Queen’s Park and Kensal Rise area, some incidents had occurred in roads adjacent to the Park.  Incidents had been reported to have occurred in the Park during hours when the Park was closed. There was some evidence of drug misuse in the park. The Hampstead Heath Constabulary regularly visited the Park and information on criminal activity is shared with the Metropolitan Police.

A Member (London Borough of Brent) informed the Committee that there was uncertainty over the future of Kilburn Police Station. The level of criminal activity in the area was surprising due to the proximity of the Station.
