New police powers on Uxbridge Road
Small businesses in Shepherds Bush have received a welcome boost with the news that the police will now be using special powers to disperse groups of rowdy louts.
The new ‘dispersal zone’ encompasses the whole of Uxbridge Road, between Askew Road and Wood Lane and will bring some peace to small businesses that have been blighted by anti-social behaviour problems in the past.
The zone means that police officers and police community support officers (PCSOs) can order gangs of troublemakers to leave an area immediately for a maximum of 24 hours. The scheme is being implemented by the Shepherds Bush 24/7 Safer Neighbourhood Team which is partially funded by the council.
