Looking for something fun to do during the Easter break? Following last year's success, we have decided to bring the fun back with the Easter Bunny Trail! The game starts March 20th until April 7th!

We have hidden 25 wooden bunnies around town inside our brilliant BID businesses. For an EXTRA entry into the hamper draw, snap a photo of you doing the trail and post it to social media, tagging us at @YourActonBID and #YourActonEaster!

For the month of February, the Acton BID reported various issues such as:

20 issues of fly tipping incidents.

10 counts of graffiti on business shop fronts and street furniture.

2 other types of incidents, including streets not clean, pavement issues and abandoned bicycles.

My Local Bobby team has attended various incidents which includes:

2 incidents related to beggars.

3 incidents related to Antisocial behaviours (i.e., street drinking, noise disturbance, etc.).

3 incidents related to crime (shoplifting and theft).

The MLB team has continued to assist businesses with various Shoplifting incident and dealt with Anti-social behaviours. They are continuing to work with the Met Police and the Safer Neighbourhood team to gather intel and provide information on people of interest in Acton. 

The BID Team have invested in new sim-card radios that are linked to 20 different businesses in Acton, My Local Bobby, MET Police and Ealing Council CCTV to help prevent crime and increase communication to deter the crime from happening. If you feel your business will benefit from a Town Link Radio, please contact Natasha.

And finally...
