We have been working with the local Police Safer Neighbourhoods team to deal with a problem of rough sleeping on the Hallfield Estate. A joint exercise, including CityWest Homes, the police and the UK borders authority and Westminster’s City Inspector removed a group of rough sleepers earlier this year. There has been a re-occurrence of the problem, but swift joined-up action between the agencies involved led to the rough sleepers removed.
The police and Westminster’s City Inspectors have also had some success in taking action against persistent beggars on Queensway. Begging is illegal and it is often undertaken by organised criminal gangs. There is still a problem and we are determined to reduce it further.
Joined up working between your Councillors CityWest Homes and the police has led to the successful resolution of an ongoing problem of anti-social behaviour on the Hallfield Estate. Reducing anti-social behaviour is one of our top priorities across the ward, so if you have any problems in your area let us know.
