<p>Grenfell Community Assembly</p>
Residents across North Kensington have chosen to focus on community safety at the next Grenfell Community Assembly, which is taking place on Tuesday 22 February from 5.30pm to 8pm.
The Assembly will be hosted at Al Manaar Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre on Acklam Road and offer attendees refreshments and access to information stands from 5.30pm.
From 6pm, a number of group discussions will be hosted covering topics like modern slavery, serious youth violence, violence against women and girls, hate crime and anti-social behaviour.
It will provide residents with the opportunity to constructively communicate any thoughts or concerns with other members of the North Kensington community, representatives from the Council and officers from the Met Police.
Councillor Emma Will, who is the Council’s Lead Member for Community Safety and will be attending the event, said: “Resident safety is a top priority for us and our community. That has been reflected in the feedback to our Council Plan and the fact that North Kensington residents have chosen to discuss it at the next Grenfell Community Assembly.
“February’s Assembly will allow residents to speak openly with us and our partners about the community safety issues affecting them, giving us valuable insights into their needs and highlighting how we can further support North Kensington’s community-led recovery.”
Following the event, a written record of the discussions will be provided along with a document detailing how the Council and its partner agencies plan to respond to any issues raised throughout the Assembly.
