After a hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Notting Hill Carnival is finally returning to the streets.
We’re expecting hundreds of thousands of visitors to our borough to enjoy the outstanding sights, sounds and atmosphere.
We know many of our residents will be excited to see the carnival back, but some will also have apprehensions.
The Council’s Housing Management team will be providing increased security for residents and the properties we manage in areas which are significantly affected during the Carnival weekend.
Access for vehicles will be restricted during the event and we advise you to park your car elsewhere.
Passes
Residents living in areas where we are providing fencing and guards, will be issued with four passes per household to allow them access to and from their property. These will be posted to you.
During the Carnival, all residents and their visitors must show their pass to the security guard to gain access to their block.
After the Carnival
All boarding and fencing will start to be removed from 27 August. Our cleaning teams will remove litter and other debris that has built up across the weekend, as soon as possible.
Safety
As our major works programme continues you will see scaffolding popping up throughout the borough.
Please be safe around scaffolding and do not climb or walk onto the structures as this can cause serious harm or injury.
Please also avoid throwing rubbish onto the platforms as this is a major fire hazard.
Your responsibilities as a Council tenant
In the spirit of Carnival, we want everyone to enjoy themselves, but must remind you of your responsibility for guests or visitors. Please show consideration for your neighbours, as any nuisance or antisocial behaviour will be dealt with according to our usual policies and procedures. This includes allowing visitors to the Carnival to use the facilities in your home.
Get in touch
Extra Council staff will be on duty during the course of Carnival to assist where possible. You can contact us on 0800 137 111. However, please call the emergency services on 999, if you feel you or your property is at immediate risk.
Information booklets will be distributed to all residents in the borough before Carnival and information contained in these booklets will also be available on our website.
