An interesting morning today visiting residents in our neighbouring Acton Central ward, with twenty colleagues from across the Borough including Andy Slaughter. .
I visited Steyne House – a block of old Council housing where the flats are currently getting new kitchens and bathrooms thanks to the Government’s ‘decent homes’ funding. Residents seemed very pleased with this work – but were less pleased about the number of police deployed locally, particularly to deal with street drinkers. I gave them the good news that next year Acton Central will be getting six police officers dedicated to their ward – as East Acton has had to great benefit over the last year. There were other housing issues raised, which John Delaney has volunteered to take up as one of the Acton Central Councillors.
Excellent pints in the Kings Head afterwards. And now it’s half term, when there are no planned Council meetings, and I should get the chance to get away.
