Neighbourhood Priorities

Mapesbury and Cricklewood SNT will continue to show uniform patrols along Cricklewood Broadway and Chichele Road as this is the hotspot for violence on the streets. We are in the process of arranging cross boarder working with Cricklewood SNT and Fortune Green SNT. The main issue surrounds around McDonalds on Cricklewood Broadway and the Broadway. We continually visit and speak to the management of McDonalds even though this is not on the ward but the violence does filter on to our side. We have noticed any violence on the streets stems from the Broadway on to Chichele Road towards Willesden.

Issue Date Wednesday 20th December 2023

Provide uniformed patrols on Cricklewood Broadway.
Engagement with the local business.
Days of action planned with Brent council around A5 corridor.

The burglaries across the ward have started to decrease after a significant increase in the last 6 months. Operation McAllen is still in place and will continue to focus around the burglaries across the ward. Visits and crime prevention is still being provided to the victims. The team have arrested 7 suspects for burglaries and are now in the process of putting a criminal behaviour order application together with stringent conditions. One of these conditions is not to be in Cricklewood. If any breaches occur for the criminal behaviour order then the individual is liable for arrest. The team will work closely with partner agencies and the ward panel members to tackle the burglaries.
