Springfield Mount arcade

Pleased to say that following residents' objections and representations we made at the Planning Committee in February, the decision to allow permission to site 'Star Wines' to convert to a
gaming arcade has been reversed. Thanks to a further report from PC Richard Stout from our local Safer Neighbourhood Team, Brent's Planning Officers were persuaded that such an outlet would attract back the wrong sort of groups and the anti-social behaviour which was a feature of the area previously.

A good turnout of local residents were pleasantly surprised to see the Planning Committee at the Town Hall unanimously refuse planning permission. They were encouraged to think that by coming together as with this issue, residents, the SNT and councillors can make a difference.
