Want to quiz Met’ Police boss?

This message is from A/Chief Inspector David George:

Dear Hillingdon Residents, Business Persons and Partners,

The Commissioner Bernard Hogan Howe will be holding a Road show at Hillingdon Civic Centre on Wednesday 24th August between 1830 to 1930.

The aim of the event is to address the community and finish with a Questions & Answer session. The Commissioner will be joined by the Hillingdon Borough Leadership Team to answer questions from the audience.

Local community policing team officers along with other victim support services provided by the police (Community Safety Unit, I Victim Support, Court Support, Safeguarding Adults, Burglary Squad, Smart water team ) will also be on hand.

There is no need to register for the event and the community are requested to just turn up on the night. Attendees will be required to attend no later than 1820 to allow time for seating.

Thank you and I hope to see you on the evening

 

Parking restriction issues

Nothing seems to raise blood pressure more than the issue of parking restrictions. Some people love them, some hate them. Some want one-hour restrictions while others want resident permits. Just like Brexit, this means that a proportion of people are going to be unhappy with whatever’s decided.

As the Ickenham Residents’ Association, we have to remain above the fray. We are here to represent all residents and cannot take up the cudgels on behalf of one group or another. We can, however, urge you to respond whenever the Council consults you. Your anonymity is preserved and you can check the outcomes when the statistics are published.

If you really think that the Council has acted undemocratically, you probably have time to protest. In my road (Pepys Close), the scheme wasn’t implemented until ten months after the stats were published.
