fun activities in a friendly family run club. The 27 acres outside give the children the freedom to play in a safe environment.

SICK AS A PARROTWHEN IO, THE BLUE-FRONTED AMAZON, ESCAPED TO WATCH THE BOAT RACE, HIS PARSONS GREEN OWNERS FEARED THEYD NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN. BUT, TO THEIR JOY, IO IS HOME. DELYTH BOWEN TELLS THE TALE

C harlie and Romana Prince were sick as parrots after their pet Io, a blue-fronted Amazon, flew the nest last week. They thought that, in the snow and unseasonable cold of March, his fate might follow that of the bird in the famous Monty Python sketch that hed end up pining for the fjords... resting... pushing up the daisies... or joining the choir invisible.

But the couples despair turned to joy on Easter Day when parks police from H&F Council reunited them with Io, after the bird was spotted spending time on

the Thames as a spectator at the Boat Race.The six-year-old pet parrot disappeared from his Burnfoot Avenue home in Fulham on March 28, after he flew off Charlies shoulder at

the back door, as Charlie put the rubbish out.Three days later, with the help of a local resident, borough parks

police officers PC Tony Spyrou and Sgt Ian Crow, patrolling in Bishops Park, managed to bring pet and owners back together.

PC Spyrou said: We saw a man with a parrot on his shoulder in the park and thought, Thats a bit unusual, but carried on.

Then later on a small crowd had gathered around this man, with the parrot drinking some water from a

bowl on the floor.We went over, had a chat, and the man said hed found the parrot by the childrens

play area. One of the ladies in the crowd then said shed seen a poster in Parsons Green for a missing parrot.

So we got him in a box though he did put up a good fight and headed down there, got the address from the poster and turned up at the house.

Romana, 56, said: I couldnt believe it when I opened the door and they asked Is this your parrot?

Wed been out all morning

wandering and walking, looking

for him and calling his name, but had

had no luck. My husband and son,

who is also called Charlie, had gone back out looking for him ironically to Bishops Park but its lucky that I stayed at home!I cant believe he was

happy with a stranger, and its amazing that the parks police managed to get him in the box! He was very tired and hungry but otherwise OK.

Io came to live with the Prince family three years ago when they saw a sign in the window of a local coffee shop

asking if anyone wanted a pet parrot.H&F Council deputy leader Greg Smith said: Our eagle-eyed parks

police officers did a great job.

We got him in a box... though he did put

up a good fight

Io the blue-fronted parrot

has come home, and is back on the

shoulder of the son of his owners,

Shepherds Bush Green will officially next week after several delays. And now, you are invited to attend the opening celebrations at the Green on Monday (May 20) at 3pm!

The ribbon-cutting will feature a jazz quartet, an ice cream van and three Victorian rides.

Hundreds of local children have already been enjoying the two new state-of the-art playgrounds, and local people have been visiting the site in their droves.

Paths have been resurfaced, with several being widened and new CCTV and lighting installed. The Grade II-listed war memorial has also been reset on a majestic new granite-stepped plinth.

The vast majority of the green has been open to the public since last October and the council has received plenty of positive feedback from users.

However, a small section of the green has been closed following a catalogue of delays outside the councils control.

First, soil was found to contain ash, ceramic, bricks and other impurities, which would have been used to level the site after the Second World War. Then workers had to down tools as there was a London-wide embargo on this kind of construction during the Olympic and

Paralympic period.

Finally, the Green fell victim to the weather. 2012 was the second wettest year on record and a section of the green became water-logged.

H&F Council deputy leader Greg Smith said: After several infuriating delays, we are delighted that the improved Shepherds Bush Green will soon officially open.

We have been incredibly disappointed that we have not been able to open a small section of the area. Nevertheless, we are confident that those who live, work and visit Shepherds Bush will agree that the wait has been worthwhile.

Despite the unforeseen delays, the 2.6m project is expected to come in on budget.

LEADING ARCHITECTS PROPOSE SENDING THE TRAFFIC BELOW GROUND, WRITES ROB MANSFIELD

So could Hammersmiths traffic head underground? Experts say yes and it could look like this

YOUR SHOUT Are you excited about the arrival of Boris bikes in H&F? Will you use them? Will they help improve the area?

Michael Buchanan, 66, Overstone Road, HammersmithI do feel it would be a good thing in general but it requires some more thought about safety on the roads. When I used to go to work on a bike 25 years ago there were crossings, but enthusiasm has since run out of steam.

David Odokonyero, 45, Marchbank Road, West KensingtonIt will be OK, but I wouldnt ride one of the bikes; it is too expensive. I have my own bike I use during summer. It is OK but the problem is there is no room because cars need it, buses need it. People die on the roads because of poor planning.

Laura Colston, 26, Filmer Road, FulhamIt will be a good thing. I see them a lot in the city. I think people will use them but it will be more tourists than local people, especially if its expensive.

Ruth Loraine, 19, works in HammersmithI hope to use them because I need to exercise more and its a great way to exercise. Hopefully it will entice people to stop driving around the one-way system in Hammersmith Broadway as it can get pretty hectic.

Hugo Randles, 24,Rylett Road, Wendell PkThey need to make a system which is viable for tourists. You do sometimes see stands with no bikes on at all.

Daniel Cook, 18, Esmond Road, ChiswickI dont use the bikes, but I think theyre really good. I use public trans-port a lot so I probably wouldnt try a Boris bike, but my family might.

A terrible act of vandalism. That is how the Hammersmith Flyover was re-ferred to by H&F Council and a group of respected local architects.

Since its emergency closure in 2011, which caused traffic gridlock across west London, serious questions have been asked about the long-term viability of the 50-year-old structure, given the escalating costs of maintenance and risk of failure.

But now West London Link, a group of renowned west London architects, has presented its ideas for how Transport for London could replace the crumbling flyover with a tunnel.

Declaring H&F Councils support for a tunnel or flyunder at a packed meet-ing at Hammersmith Town Hall last month, council leader Nicholas Botterill said: The Flyover is a hangover from another era that should never be repeated. The age of the ugly concrete viaduct in the sky is over and the age of the tunnel is coming.

Could tunnel vision replace the crumbling Hammersmith flyover?

The architects, backed by Halcrow Group an internationally respected firm of consulting engineers showed how the land above a tunnel could be transformed by building new homes, creating more green space and reconnecting Hammersmith town centre with the river.

Tom Ryland, director of Chartered Practice Architects Ltd, in Askew Road, Shepherds Bush, and member of West London Link, said: The flyover was a terrible act of vandalism. It has been patched up at huge expense and that will only last around 20 years.

Visitors to the exhibition heard that, as well as reclaiming land along the A4 potentially from as far as the Chiswick roundabout to the new Earls Court devel-opment at West Kensington a tunnel would significantly improve the air quality in Hammersmith, one of the most polluted areas in London.

Cllr Botterill added: The next stage will require us to convince TfL that a tunnel is the best way forward to continue the regeneration of Hammersmith, and reconnect local residents with the river once again.

suggestions for suitable spots. Each of the places had to be

reviewed against a set of strict criteria to see if the sites

were suitable.Victoria Brockle-

bank-Fowler, H&F cabinet member for

transport and technical services, said: We are pleased

that the bikes are coming to the borough.

Council taxpayers will not pay a penny for the schemes installa-tion and residents will benefit from being able to travel quickly across the borough on one of these bikes.

The initial construction works involve installing electrical cables to bring power to the future dock-ing points and terminals. Once the electrical works are complete, a black cycle hire plate will be placed at the site, ready for the station to be installed later this year.

The Barclays Cycle Hire scheme has 160,000 registered users 3,900 of whom are H&F residents with 8,333 bicycles at 587 docking stations across London.

There is already one at Olympia train station, on the Kensington and Chelsea side of the border, and in spring this year four stations were installed at Westfield shopping mall in Shepherds Bush as part of

the second phase of the scheme.London mayor Boris

Johnson said: The cycle hire scheme is going to be a real benefit to local people. It will help the economy and is key to my aim of making cycling an

integral part of the capitals transport network.

Barclays Cycle Hire already cov-ers more than 65sqkm of the capital stretching from Shepherds Bush in the west, through central London and east to the fringes of the Olympic Park.

Work has begun in Fulham to build the first docking station of the western expansion of the Barclays Cycle Hire scheme.

A team from Transport for London began fitting the docking station near the junction of Finlay Street and Fulham Palace Road last month.

It is the first of several locations where engineers and workmen will be on site in the coming weeks to cement in place the early section of a scheme that will eventually see 2,000 docking sta-tions in place across west and south London by spring next year.

All docking stations are expected to be operating by spring 2014.

Other sites that will be prepared in this first wave of installations include Woodstock Grove, Hammersmith Road and Manbre Road in Ham-mersmith.

H&F Council is helping bring the cycles to the borough by agreeing that developers will pay a 2million contribution towards the popular scheme.

An original list of 200 potential locations across the borough was narrowed down to around 70 many of them originally suggested by local residents.

More than 200 people contacted the council as part of the Get H&F Moving campaign to offer their views on where the bike stations could be put, with officers from the council and TfL also making

20,000 bikes gearing up for summerAFTER THE OLYMPICS SUCCESS, THE BOROUGH IS READY TO WELCOME BACK THE CYCLISTS, WRITES JON WEISGARD

More than 20,000 ama-teur cyclists are set to ride their bikes through the borough this sum-mer as part of the RideLondon-Surrey 100.

The charity amateur race will be followed by a professional race, called the RideLondon-Surrey Classic, with 150 of the worlds best riders, including Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish.

As with last years Olympic cy-cling events, Hammersmith & Ful-ham Council is warning residents to expect transport disruption throughout the day, with major roads and bridges closed to traffic.

The amateur race leaves the Olympic Park at 6am on Sunday August 4, travelling through central London.

The professional race starts from the same place at 1pm.

Cyclists for both events will ride along the A4 and over Ham-mersmith Flyover, before heading across Chiswick Bridge to Houn-slow, Richmond and Kingston.

the capital, leading to a boost in cycling numbers and generating millions of pounds in economic benefit.

Despite the benefits, H&F Council warns the races will lead to significant transport disruption across the entire borough. The council is urging race organisers to do everything to inform residents and minimise gridlock.

Cabiner member for transport and technical services Cllr Victoria Brocklebank-Fowler said: This will be another hugely exciting event, with H&F thrust into the centre of the sporting universe again.

The council advises residents only to use their car on Sunday, August 4 if absolutely vital. If you need to drive, leave plenty of extra time and be prepared for signifi-cantly longer journeys.

The sheer number of cyclists taking part, together with the fact that Hammersmith Flyover is part of the route, means this event will have a wider impact than last years Olympics, said Cllr Brocklebank-Fowler.

If you are planning to fly from Heathrow or hold a wedding cel-ebration, bear in mind travel will be restricted.

You can call the race organisers on 020 7902 0212 or email [email protected]

The cyclists route is into Surrey and back via Putney Bridge and New Kings Road, before finishing on the Mall.

Following in the tyremarks of the successful Olympic cycling events, the August races are part of an Olympic legacy festival of cycling hosted by London Mayor Boris Johnson over August 3-4.

The weekend builds on the popularity of the Team GB Olym-pic cycling team, and to encourage cycling in the capital.

Recent figures show 8 per cent of borough residents ride to work, with the number rising all the time.

It is predicted that the weekend festival could attract more than 200,000 visitors from outside

Residents in Olympia are celebrating a victory for common sense, as Transport for London finally said it would not stop them using a footbridge as a shortcut to get to their homes.

TfL had wanted to install ticket barriers at the two entrances and exits to the station, in a bid to crack down on the number of people dodging paying train fares, effectively stopping residents using the bridge which crosses the railway line at Kensington Olympia station.

But now, following pres-sure from local people, H&F Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, TfL has abandoned its original plans, meaning the footbridge shortcut between Olympia Way and Russell Road will continue to be used.

Hundreds of people use it each day as a public right of way and have done since the Second World War.

H&F Council successfully forced TfL into looking at alternative ways to keep the pathway open, while stopping commuters from evading fares.

TfL will now install ticket gates that divide the station and bridge into two separate lanes.

One lane will be for train travellers, who will have to pay to get on to the stations platforms, and another will be a free side that people can still use to walk across the bridge.

There will be a fence to separate the pedestrian route

and an extra staircase will be built to avoid congestion on the current single staircase at the Olympia Way side of the station.

H&F Council cabinet member Victoria Brocklebank-Fowler said: This is a victory for common sense.

We fought for local people and I am glad that TfL agreed to our alternative suggestion of two lanes across the bridge, which is a lot easier for everyone, and means that this pathway stays open.

While we back TfLs stance on tackling fare dodgers, to do it at the expense of local people is simply not right. This way, residents can still get to their homes easily and TfL can continue to fight the fare dodgers; everyone wins.

TfL says that ticketless travel at the station near the Olympia and Earls Court conference and exhibition venues is as high as 10 per cent, while across the rest of the overground network it is just two per cent.

Preparation work for the new gates and staircase began last month with main construc-tion work starting in June.

TfL expects that the work will be completed in July.

The work will not affect train services or commuters, and will be carried out on weekdays from 9am-6pm, mainly outside peak hours.

There will be some week-end work when the staircase is assembled. The bridge will remain open throughout the works, with maintained free pedestrian access.

You can use bridge, says Transport for London, as battling residents win victory for common sense

T he mighty redbrick Victorian pile that was the Grand Union bar and grill is about to reopen as The Oak, W12, with a total redesign including an imposing wood-fired pizza oven against one wall.

Straddling Paddenswick Road and Goldhawk Road at the Seven Stars roundabout, the high-ceilinged pub has had a chequered history in recent years, but restaurateur Jasper Gorst is confident he can make a real go of it.

I think its simple and straightforward, he said. Create something that the customer ultimately wants, and theyll come... and theyll keep coming if you provide it to the same level.

Jasper has form. He also runs Brook Greens Bird in Hand and The Oak in Westbourne Park Road,

Is shepherds bush ready for portland crab and dandelIon salad? one restaurateur InsIsts that It Is, WrItes tIM harrIson

Will The Oak help the W12 area turn into a kind of Notting Hill?

ROCK CHICKS

MEET DAMES OF THE DANCEHALLSEE PAGES 66-68

Notting Hill; both impressive success stories.But is the Seven Stars area of Shepherds

Bush ready for the Notting Hill treatment?Im looking to give something special to an

upcoming neighbourhood, said Jasper, who used to live nearby. I know, it was up-and-coming 10 years ago, and its gone up and down over the years, but since Westfield has opened its changed the area; just look at the prices of property!

For Jasper, the real fun has been the design work, which he has done himself. The food, led

by upmarket pizzas from that vast oven, is important, but the ambiance, created by the design, is everything. Staff are recruited for being attentive and efficient, but also laid-back and relaxed.

The Oaks opening has been welcomed by Simon Grange, who edits the Shepherds Bush blog. Lets wish Jasper and his team every success and hope his

confidence will inspire others to tidy up this slightly shabby corner of the Bush.

The restaurant seats 60, with a private dining area for 20 and an al fresco terrace for 30 more.

The decor mixes modern industrial chic, old English eccentricity and Italian antique, with The Oak aiming to be informal yet informed.

The menu is Mediterranean. Starters range from chilled avocado soup to Portland crab with dandelion salad. Main courses (12 to 19) include sauteed rabbit with chorizo and roasted free-range poussin with braised shallots.

Nine pizzas are on offer, while the dessert list includes hazelnut cheesecake.

Aby Scott, operations manager, has designed the wine list, and there are also draught and bottled beers and cocktails. A bottle of house red will be about 16, with most wines in the 20-30 range.

Jasper doesnt like the tag gastropub. Were a notch or two above that, he said. Were a restaurant on a pub site. Ive always taken pub sites as I love the character of them, but my background is restaurants, not gastropubs. The Oak opens on Friday June 7.

Im a big fan of five-a-side, he said. I started it in the early 1980s. Some of the ones I coached are now grandparents, cheering on their grandchildren every Sunday!

Bill, who is one of the Friends of Normand Park, also set up the Credit Union charity in North End Road, to help people with their finances.

Unsung community heroes and people with incredible talents were given the recognition they so richly deserve at a special reception on Wednesday, May 15.

H&F Council launched the inaugural Agilisys H&F Heroes Awards in February. The campaign aimed to shine a light on the numerous people who put others before themselves or have a special talent that deserves to be celebrated.

Residents were asked to nominate their heroes in five different categories and the council received almost 50 names in total, with the Fulham & Hammersmith Chronicle focusing on different people each week.

Winners were selected by a judging panel that met last month. Winners and runners-up were presented with trophies, certificates and Westfield London vouchers at an awards ceremony in the mayors foyer.

More than 80 people attended the event, including H&F Mayor Belinda Donovan, H&F Council leader Nicholas Botterill, and Steven Beard, chief cxecutive of the awards main sponsor Agilisys.

The first honour of the evening went to Bill Cox, who won the charity worker category. Bill has been a familiar face to football-mad youngsters for 30 years thanks to his involvement with the Sunday morning childrens five-a-side league at Lillie Road rec.

He is also involved with the Fulham Community Partnership Trust and is on the board of H&F Credit Union Ltd.

The evening took on a more sombre tone when Piotr Mickiewicz was posthumously awarded with a heroes award in the crime fighter category (sponsored by the Fulham Broadway Shopping Centre).

Piotr, a street cleaner for council contractor Serco, paid the ultimate sacrifice last August when he was stabbed as he heroically tried to stop a burglar fleeing the scene in Rylett

Latymer Upper School student Tara Thakkar won the young achiever award (sponsored by Specsavers Fulham).

Tara is hugely active within the St John Ambulance cadet movement and has

been named Londons cadet of the year for her first aid work and contribution to the community.

The entrepreneur award (sponsored by the Hammersmith Broadway Shopping Centre) was presented to Shepherds Bush model Kim Calera.

Kim has turned her life around after finding herself homeless on the streets of Mumbai, India.

She now runs a successful jewellery business and donates some of her profits to charity.

Ralph Land walked away with the final award, in the X-Factor category (sponsored by Horton & Garton estate agents.) Ralph may by 84 but that has not stopped him from raising a staggering 450,000 for the pancreatic cancer lab

at Hammersmith Hospital.

This included taking part in a

12,000ft skydive with his identical twin

brother Frank.Cllr Botterill, said: When

we sat down to select the winners and runners-up last month, we were all genuinely taken aback by some of the things that people do purely because they want to put something back into the community.

It is fair to say that all of the nominees deserve recognition as these are the people who help to make H&F the best place to live and visit in London.

Steven Beard, chief cxecutive of Agilisys, said: I was immensely impressed with the breadth of achievements displayed by the nominees it made judging very difficult!

As long-term partners of H&F Council, Agilisys is proud to support this award and to be a part of a community where so many people are committed to making a difference to the lives of others throughout the borough.

And Fulham & Hammersmith Chronicle editor Adrian Seal said: The Chronicle

has been delighted to be part of these awards and the standard of nominations in this first year has been outstanding.

The Chronicle, as the local newspaper serving the borough,

has been delighted to be able to cover so many great individual stories through its pages and website as part of the awards. I would like to thank all our readers who engaged with us.

Award trophies were supplied by Sids of 70 Fulham Palace Road. Sids has been the boroughs choice for shoe repairs, key cutting, trophies and engraving and locks, grilles and gates for more than 20 years.

Could you

Fostera child like me?

And Im proud of what Im doing. Its hard work, but Ive met some really nice people.BEING the foster carer of any child is a challenge, but fostering a child with special needs demands something extra and Yasmin has that something.

Yasmin came to the UK as a teenage newlywed from Morocco 40 years ago, just speaking Arabic and a little Spanish and French.

Now 58, the grandmother with a bright, bubbly personality fosters an

18-year-old with special needs.She became a foster carer 10 years

ago after a conversation at the school gate. I got talking to another mum who happened to be a foster carer, and she gave me the idea, said Yasmin who has raised seven children of her own. I let my kids know what I was planning and they said theyd support me. Today theyre really proud of me!

Yasmin specialises in looking after children with disabilities. One little boy, who Yasmin looked after, was so ill, Yasmin knew she wouldnt live long. I did my best; Im not scared. You cant turn your back on a little baby, especially if they dont

have long to live.Part of the key to success

is the support network of social workers and other

professionals. There is always an expert to turn

to for support and advise. The young person Yasmin is currently

looking after has been with her for seven years. Now 18, due to his disability he is functioning at the age of a seven or eight year old, and has difficulty even expressing concepts such as hunger.

However, he recently he managed to go into a shop, get a pint of milk and pay for it himself - a major step forward.

Her advice to anyone thinking of fostering children with special needs? Youll get your rewards; youll feel good automatically knowing you are making a difference to a childs life. she said. The training is good; dont be frightened to ask questions and dont give up. It is also really important to make sure your family agrees with what youre about to do, because its all about teamwork.

Yasmin also escorts children, picking them up, for instance, after contact with their birth family. She will also soon become a mentor to other foster carers.

Children need to feel safe with the person you leave them with, said Yasmin. Disabled children are more vulnerable. You have to protect children in your care even more than you protect your own children.All names have been changed.

Heathrow is in the worst position for the UKs hub airport. The only sensible solution is to acknowledge that further expansion of Heathrow is not acceptable and that additional capacity should be provided away from major population centres.

However, MPs on the House of Commons transport select committee and some business groups favour building a third runway at Heathrow as the cheapest way to expand the UKs hub airport capacity.

But H&F Council has consistently warned that Heathrow will not stop expanding if granted a third landing strip. Its main European rivals have four or more runways and Heathrow will need to match their capacity to directly compete.

Charles de Gaulle, Heathrows nearest rival, has four runways. Frankfurt and Barajas (Madrid) also have four and Schiphol (Amsterdam) has six.

Cllr Victoria Brocklebank-Fowler, H&F Council cabinet member for transport and technical services, said: Most of the borough would become a no sleep zone if Heathrow expands to a four runway hub.

Across London and the Home Counties around three million people would be living


under a Heathrow flight path and the negative impact on residents quality of life would be immense.

Heathrow is in the worst position for the UKs hub airport as it negatively affects far too many people. The only sensible solution is to acknowledge that further expansion of Heathrow is not acceptable and that additional capacity should be provided away from major population centres perhaps to the east of London, near the estuary.

H&F Council has consistently warned that Heathrow will not stop expanding if granted a third landing strip. Its main European rivals have four or more runways and Heathrow will need to match their capacity to directly compete.

l A MUCH-LOVED statue in the churchyard of All Saints, Fulham, has been been restored after vandals struck.

The Walking Madonna, commissioned from sculptor Helen Sinclair a decade ago to mark the millennium, was desecrated a year ago.

Half of the artwork was stolen, and never recovered. Now a newly cast resin

replacement has been installed which, says the Rev Joseph Hawes, shows our determination to demonstrate Gods love in the face of adversity.

The replaced statue has been blessed by Archbishop Walter Makhulu.

Vanessa Teperson, 42, Percy Road, Shepherds BushIt will bother me a lot. It will be noisy I have sleep problems and to be woken up will be very disruptive. I do not think it is necessary. I think Heathrow is a good airport but they do not need to do anything with it. It is just a waste of money.

Abdirazak Abdullah, 18,Hammersmith GroveIt will just be noisier when the planes are fly-ing over, so I do not really mind. I definitely agree with expanding Heathrow. There will be more jobs.

John Byrne, 73,Mylne Close, HammersmithWhen planes do come over my house it is quite loud. They make quite a bit of noise it will be very disruptive. I do not think [the extra flight paths] are really all that necessary. Dont expand Heathrow, move it.

Michelle Molloy, 31,Irving Road, HammersmithThe extra noise wont bother me in the slight-est. But the expansion is sad if theyre going to destroy communities.

Hammersmith & Fulham is safer than ever before with 1,600 fewer victims of crime last year, according to the latest Met Police figures.

In the 12 months to March 31, 2013 stats show that recorded crime was driven down by 7.2 per cent compared to the previous year.

There were 21,647 offences over the past 12 months compared to 23,317 the year before.

Residential burglary is at its lowest ever level in H&F down 32 per cent, from 1,631 offences to 1,107. Vehicle crime and youth violence are both down 17 per cent to 2,731 and 245 offences respectively. There were 32 gun related crimes, a 13 per cent fall compared to the previous years 37 crimes. Knife crime tumbled by 28 per cent, to 206 offences.

Chief Superintendent Lucy DOrsi praised the work of her officers and highlighted innovative ways of tackling crime, such as the new ward based crime road shows and sting cars and houses.

Chief Superintendent DOrsi said: I am very pleased with the tremendous fall in crime over the past year.

Our officers and staff are working extremely hard to make a difference to the people of Hammersmith, Fulham, and Shepherds Bush. Together we will continue to build on our successful and productive partnership with the council to tackle crime in innovative ways.

In the next few months we will be changing the way we police the borough, ensuring that more officers than ever will be dedicated to neighbourhood policing.

Together with the council we believe that this will continue to drive down crime and put the borough at the forefront of crime reduction for the coming year.

H&F Council has a strong track record of working closely with the police and, together with local businesses, is spending 1.6million a year to pay for three enhanced squads of town

Together with the police the council is working tirelessly to tackle the criminal minority head-on, says Cllr Greg Smith, H&F Council deputy leader. With specialist teams proactively targeting offenders there are

around 8,000 fewer crimes per year than 10 years ago and 1,600 fewer victims

of crime since this time last year.H&F has never been safer
