2024-0724 - REMEMBER THIEVES don't seem to go on holidays ...
Dear all,
This message has been sent out before but it is worth a reminder at this time of year as the summer holiday season starts.
Keep safe.
REMINDER
SECURITY NOTES
These incidents include items being stolen, teenagers being mugged and robbed, suspicious people trying to gain entrance to houses and buildings and individuals testing front doors of houses to try to gain entry, and also fly-tipping is back again.
BELOW you will find some Met Police documentation on the following topics:
- How Secure is YOUR Home
- IMMOBILISE - The UK National Property Register
- Communal Doors
- What to do if your home is burgled.
These are worth a read for your own security.
REMEMBER, CALL 999 IF:
- a serious offence is in progress or has just been committed
- someone is in immediate danger or harm
- property is in danger of being damaged
- a serious disruption to the public is likely
Or text us on 999 if you’ve pre-registered with the emergencySMS service.
Silent 999 calls
- If you're in danger but you can't talk on the phone, you should still call 999, then follow these instructions depending on whether you're calling from a mobile or a landline.
- If you're in danger, call 999 and try to speak to the operator if you can, even by whispering. You may also be asked to cough or tap the keys on your phone to answer questions.
Call 999 from a mobile
- If you don't speak or answer questions, press 55 when prompted and your call will be transferred to the police.
- Pressing 55 only works on mobiles and doesn't allow the police to track your location.
- If you don't press 55 your call will be ended.
Call 999 from a landline
- If you don't speak or answer questions and the operator can only hear background noise, they'll transfer your call to the police.
- If you replace the handset, the landline may remain connected for 45 seconds in case you pick it up again.
- Calling 999 from a landline automatically gives the police information about your location.
- For reporting a crime, anti-social behaviour or neighbourhood concerns to getting in touch with an officer, you can contact your local team here. https://www.met.police.uk/a/your-area/met/hammersmith-and-fulham/askew/?introducingyoursaferneighbourhoodsteam=contactus

2024-0720 - Some local issues that could be of interest ...
Dear All
Some topics from Hammersmith Today Website which may be of interest ...
- Hammersmith and Fulham Council’s cabinet is set to consider a new plan which incorporates the replacement of Hammersmith Flyover with a tunnel.
- Council bumps up proposed Garden Waste Collection Charge
Replacement of Hammersmith
Flyover with a tunnel.
Hammersmith and Fulham Council’s cabinet is set to consider a new plan which incorporates the replacement of Hammersmith Flyover with a tunnel.
https://www.hammersmithtoday.co.uk/#!pages/shared:common:ldrshfroad009
The borough is looking to replace the 1960s flyover as part of its long-term plans for a key town centre, where nearly 3,000 flats would be built. The Hammersmith Town Centre Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) details how it intends on knocking down the ‘eyesore’ flyover and introducing a ‘flyunder’ to improve the townscape and ease traffic.

Council bumps up proposed
Garden Waste Collection Charge
https://www.hammersmithtoday.co.uk/#!pages/shared:common:ldrshfrecycling005
The annual cost of a garden waste collection service in Hammersmith and Fulham is to be £25more expensive than initially proposed, after council benchmarking found the fee would be the cheapest among local authorities in London.
The council had included a provisional £65 subscription fee for the new collection service in its 2024/25 budget, which was approved earlier this year.
Cllr Sharon Holder, Cabinet Member for the Public Realm, has however now green-lit upping the annual fee to £90, after subsequent research identified the charge “would be the cheapest subscription in London” alongside further consideration of the costs involved.
...
The £65 charge was revealed in the run-up to the council’s 2024/25 budget, with documents detailing how the service was expected to bring in £650,000, assuming 10,000 households sign up. The ongoing cost to the local authority to run the scheme was estimated at £278,000.
In a new decision notice published this week, Cllr Holder approved a recommendation from officers to increase the charge to £90 a year following further work benchmarking Hammersmith and Fulham against other London councils, plus additional consideration of “the costs of providing the services from a collection and disposal perspective”.
The average annual fee among the capital’s local authorities is £75, officers wrote, though these are typically seasonal or fortnightly collections. Hammersmith and Fulham’s scheme, which is to be introduced on July 22, will involve up to 49 collections a year, primarily weekly though with a break in December/January.
...
The revised charge will bring in a further £250,000 than the original rate, again assuming 10,000 households sign up. The frequency of collections and charges are to be reviewed annually. Most homes in Hammersmith and Fulham do not have a garden that would require the service, with sign-up optional.
