@JasbirAnand2 You were ready for a quick getaway walking around with your car keys in your hand. Southall's residents are on the receiving end of the high crime statistics. We want to see police patrolling not just whizzing around in cars and the removal of RISE from Southall Town Hall.
@TfL Massive props to the member of staff today who was on the platform at Victoria on the District and Circle line around 5.20pm. Loved his running commentary and updates on the service. #TFL#TFLlegend
@itvfootball How have you not included the goal scored by Josimar against Northern Ireland at Mexico 86?? Better than a few of the goals in this clip!!
@deirdrecostigan@KayaJunction ▶️ Crack & heroin openly smoked on the streets
▶️ Dealers operating down the alleyways
▶️ Heroin openly injected
▶️ Drug dealers operating outside of Villiers High School
This is just a snapshot of life in #Southall where only 2 PCSOs patrolled Southall Broadway last week.
@deirdrecostigan Deirdre kept door knocking in #Southall West off her social media. We expect that she will do the same in Southall Green and Southall Broadway wards which have significant crime stats. We are sure that residents will tell her that drug users openly smoke crack and heroin.
Ealing Council’s handling of the drug crisis in Southall has been an absolute disgrace. Councillors seem completely detached from the reality residents are dealing with every single day. I passed through West Ealing last year and it looked like a community abandoned
@cleansouthall@deirdrecostigan This is a daily occurrence.
What annoys me most is how they’ve moved the drug addicts centre from Ealing to Southall, because Ealing residents complained about it. Rather than deal with the problem they thought it best to kick the can down the road & move it to Southall.
@RiddlerX3@deirdrecostigan The anti social behaviour displayed by the drug users and alcoholics across Southall is causing residents to feel unsafe and intimidated. The decision to relocate RISE from West Ealing to #Southall Town Hall was signed off by Cllr Jasbir Anand.

@deirdrecostigan Residents who have to walk past obstacles daily, including bags that contain rotting food waste in the heat, don't believe your spin on Ealing Council's failure. #Southall
From the middle of June, Affinity Water is doing roadworks on #Southall Broadway for 14 weeks. Councillors Kamaljit Nagpal & Shahbaz Ahmed have failed to reply to an email sent by a rep for the traders concerned about financial losses which will be caused by travel chaos.
@deirdrecostigan@kamnagpal@kimnagpal@CllrAnand Great staging with clipboards as props. Meanwhile in #Southall there has been an increase in antisocial behaviour associated with RISE in Southall Town Hall, visible drug taking & alcohol consumption on the streets, topped off by fly-tipping everywhere.
🚨 BBC Morning Live’s Southall fly-tipping investigation continues - and this time, reporter Mobeen Azhar caught someone in the act.
During a nighttime stakeout in Southall, the BBC team filmed a man using a shopping trolley to dump cardboard boxes, crates and other waste at a street corner near a local shop.
When Mobeen approached, the man retreated into a nearby shop - King’s Express on the same street. Mobeen then spoke with a shopkeeper outside the store, who denied that the man worked there or that the trolley belonged to the business, saying the man was a stranger who had simply “borrowed” the trolley.
However, the BBC pointed out that the packaging dumped on the street - including boxes of apples and pears - matched the produce being sold inside King’s Express. Mobeen concluded the segment by noting how unlikely it would be that a stranger would borrow a shop’s trolley, fill it with the shop’s own waste, dump it nearby, and return the trolley to the store.
The shop has not been accused of any criminal offence and Ealing Council has not commented publicly on this specific case.
If you’ve seen fly-tipping in your area, report it at https://t.co/ZgE4YN8UQt. Photos and location details speed up enforcement. The council can issue fixed penalty notices of up to £400, and fly-tipping is a criminal offence carrying up to 5 years in prison for serious cases.

@_petermason@NortholtDom What is Cllr Dominic Moffitt going to do, to tackle fly-tipping in #Southall? Cease licensing HMOs with insufficient bin space for 12 or more tenants, reopen the recycling centre in Southall, return to weekly bin collections?
