Day of Action KENSINGTON HIGH STREET - Tackling Anti-social behaviour and shoplifting

Dear Residents,

On Wednesday 11th November, Campden and Holland Safer Neighbourhood Team, alongside the RBKC Street Enforcement Team and the Local Bobbies from Kensington BID, conducted a joint Day of Action operation targeting antisocial behaviour and shoplifting along Kensington High Street.

The aims of the operation were to:

Tackle antisocial behaviour along Kensington High Street.

Help create a safer environment for residents, visitors, and tourists.

Engage with local businesses and store management regarding shoplifting concerns.

Address issues relating to Big Issue vendors.

Engage with charities operating around the Tube station to ensure appropriate identification and compliance.

During the day, officers in uniform and plain clothes engaged with local businesses, Big Issue vendors, and members of the street population, providing reassurance, gathering information, and addressing concerns raised by the local community. Officers also conducted a stop and check of a charity stand operating outside Kensington High Street and verified the organisers' identification to ensure they were operating legally and in accordance with the relevant requirements.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep Kensington High Street a safe and welcoming place for everyone.

Campden Safer Neighbourhood Team
