2025-0612 - Urgent: Support Needed for H&F Petition to Improve Our Community

 UXBRIDGE ROAD PETITION

TO THE LBHF COUNCIL

PLEASE VIEW THE DETAILS &
ACT BEFORE 22nd JULY 2025


Dear All,

Many of you have previously been sent an email in early May about the petition to clean up the Uxbridge Road [see email "2025-0502 - Petition to fix Uxbridge Road"]

To update you on this matter, the petition has generated 2,445replies to date, however, the LBHF Council requires over 5,000 signatories to force them to act and debate the matter in a FULL COUNCIL meeting. 

Please help to get this debated properly by the Council by signing up to the petition using the details below:

The following email has been received from Kat Kostuniak



Dear All,

I hope this message finds you well. 

I would like to follow up on my recent email (below) asking for your support in publicising internally a vital community petition – currently the largest in over 20 years – which has garnered overwhelming backing from both residents and local businesses. 

We are a small group of residents who live in various locations in Shepherds Bush. This petition calls on the Council to take urgent action to address the neglect that is fuelling crime, drug abuse and anti-social behaviour in our area.

While policing may be outside the Council’s direct control, it has both the power and responsibility to tackle the visible decline in our neighbourhood that fosters a sense of insecurity and abandonment.

Key concerns raised by the community include:

  • Severe disrepair of shopfronts – broken shutters, exposed wiring, and makeshift signage that make the area appear deprived and unsafe.
  • Neglected flats above shops – with peeling paint, graffiti-covered doors, and rusting satellite dishes, these are the first impressions for visitors and the daily reality for residents.
  • Long-term vacant units – contributing nothing to the community while the area is saturated with low-quality, short-term-use businesses that offer little economic or cultural value.
  • Crime, drug dealing and abuse, stealing, violence and much more. 

We would appreciate your support in helping us to raise awareness of this important petition by sharing it through your internal network/platform. We have gathered 50% of the signatures required by the council for a council debate. Please help us reach additional signatures by signing and by sharing with the network.  

Do let me know if you would like more information or to hear about our collective journey re this petition.

Warm regards,

Kat Kostuniak

2025-0604 - The Kids' Table at the Crown and Sceptre sent

 Dear all,


The following message has been sent to us by Ellie Lynes, the Deputy Manager of The Crown & Sceptre ...


Good Afternoon,

I wanted to reach out on behalf of the Crown and Sceptre (Melina Road, W12 9HY) as we are now partnered with The Kids' Table, a wonderful organisation that offers free, supervised, crafty table-top fun for kids aged 3yrs + so parents and carers can enjoy some ‘me’ time while the little ones have fun. 

The idea is to reach the parent's of the local community, to make eating out with young children a more harmonious experience for all
 
This runs between 12:30pm - 4:30pm every Sunday.

I have attached some posters, it would be great if you could digitally distribute this out to the community.

Looking forward to hearing back from you!

Best Wishes
