Local Priorities Drug dealing/ drug use Update

Dear community of Southall, 

Thank you for taking the local priority survey recently, your ongoing feedback about local issues of concern is vital in order to enable us to target resources effectively. Although you did not raise drug dealing/ drug use as a concern in your last feedback, this issue has been raised by other members of your local area so we thought you would also like to receive this update.

On Friday 05th September 2025, Southall Green Safer Neighbourhood Team working closely with the Anti-Social Behaviour team has taken Vape N' Booze to Court with evidence linking the drug activity in the area as well as the Anti-Social Behaviour from the drug use to the premises.

A closure order has been granted forcing the closure which will target the drug activity and reduce the Anti-Social Behaviour. We will continue to target the hotspots and deal with drugs in Southall Green.

We are committed to tackling drug dealing wherever we find it. We will keep you updated on our efforts to do this in your area, but if you have any concerns or evidence, it is important you report this as soon as possible.  

Drug dealing and taking is a key priority we are committed to tackle. Drug dealers regularly exploit young and vulnerable people and is linked with antisocial behaviour and violent crimes.  If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk/, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.
