Local Priority Issues

We are committed to tackling the issues that matter most to local communities. Based on our conversations with residents, and the issues they have raised with us, our main priorities are:

Priority Action taken

Burglary remains a priority for the Hatch End team.

Issued 15 July 2025

Statistics show that Hatch End is one of the safest wards in London in respect of residential burglaries. The team are keen to ensure this trend remains. A large residential area, with a busy high street ensures the team have many homes and businesses to attend, so that people are given the best prevention advice to keep themselves and their property safe. Street briefings are commonplace throughout the ward.

Motor Vehicle Crime remains one of the three ward priorities for Hatch End.

Issued 15 July 2025

Motor vehicle crime is relatively low compared to several other wards across Harrow, however, several individuals were arrested recently where a stolen car housing stolen goods was located in the centre of the ward. The teams PCSO's and PC's regularly patrol those areas to ensure vehicles are safe and parked in clear view preventing opportunities to those who are keen to engage in theft of and theft from vehicles. Ward residents are encouraged to view their ring door bell CCTV to help the team identify and locate those engaged in vehicle interference, particularly overnight.
