Kensal Green Ward Panel

I went to the Kensal Green Ward Panel on Wednesday.  These are run by each Safer Neighbourhood Team in order to connect the Police to the local community.  Attendance at the Kensal Green ones has been fairly low, although Wednesday was an exception.  They are normally held in St Marks Church and are open to all residents of Kensal Green.  The next two meetings are scheduled for 15 September and 15 December.

Afterwards, I went for an impromptu walkabout with our streetcare officer.  It is surprising how many things you can pick up in a short walk.  The weeds on Palemro Road that I complained about a couple of weeks ago are now gone.  The potholes I reported at the bottom of Odessa Road have been marked for repair.

There is a slightly strange situation at the top of Tubbs Road.  Someone appears to have put some limestone like substance down in order to soak up oil.  The heavy rain recently has washed it all over the street.  For this reason, the Council will be suspending the parking at the top of Tubbs Road, so that a mechanical cleaner can clear the road surface properly.  There is also a disabled parking bay in the same area whose markings have faded, so that will need to be repainted.

In the same walkabout, we found a leaking hydrant on Harlesden High Street, and another Thames Water leak at the crossing of Nightingale Road and High Street Harlesden.  A resident complained to us about flytipping on Nightingale Road, and we identified a broken streetlight on Station Road.

Quite a lot to find in a twenty minite walk.
