A teenager was rushed to hospital after being stabbed in High Street, Wealdstone on January 29, it has been reported. Enquiries continue.
“Labour are obsessed with moving the Civic Centre to Wealdstone where there have been 930 violent crimes since May 2018” Harrow Council Conservatives had alerted about the crime rate in the area previously.
In October 2021 alone, there have been 161 crimes in Wealdstone, including 43 violence and sexual offences. In November last year a man with a knife assaulted a person at Harrow & Wealdstone station, and in December two boys and young man were stabbed in Wealdstone.
Wealdstone ward, 75% BAME population, is one of the most deprived wards in Harrow – with overcrowding, unemployment, crime and the fear of crime being major concerns – many say it is now a ‘no-go area’ in the evenings.
But the council’s portfolio holder for tackling crimes and community cohesion, quick to play victimhood when questioned, has been dismissive about the concerning crime rate in Wealdstone, claiming that Harrow is a low crime-rate borough (December cabinet meeting).
If the violent crime in Wealdstone is taken seriously, the Harrow council should declare zero tolerance to the crime irrespective of who are involved and without a second thought about losing some votes.
