We were approached by a number of local residents who reported that two benches located at the top of Maida Avenue near Edgware Road were being misused and there were a significant number of instances of anti-social behaviour. Little Venice Conservative Councillor Melvyn Caplan worked with the city inspector and our neighbourhood police officer to arrange for the benches to be relocated to more suitable locations in Warwick Avenue.
Cllr Caplan commented: “Having safe, calm places for our residents to relax and break their journeys is an important facility, but we will always act to ensure that such facilities are not abused.”
