Current local priorities

• Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Ongoing reports of anti-social behaviour, particularly in hotspot areas including Watling Avenue and surrounding open spaces, continue to affect residents’ quality of life and perceptions of safety.
• Youth Violence / Drug Supply (Op Krythion) Youth violence linked to drug supply and exploitation remains a key concern. A safeguarding-focused approach is required to address the underlying causes and protect vulnerable young people.
• Theft of Motor Vehicle Incidents of motor vehicle theft continue to affect residents across Burnt Oak Ward, causing financial loss, inconvenience, and concerns regarding crime and community safety. Targeted action is required to deter offenders, protect vulnerable locations, and provide reassurance to residents.
