Our next Business Crime Group meeting will be held on 23 May 2019 from 10:00am – 11:30am at the newly opened Home Grown, 44 Great Cumberland Place, W1H 7BS.

The meeting will include tools and insights from the Metropolitan Police and Safer West End on issues affecting the Edgware Road and Marble Arch area. There will be a specific focus on rough sleeping and begging with representatives from Westminster City Council, St Mungo’s, and the Metropolitan Police. Any business in the Marble Arch area can join our Business Crime Group, which meets on a quarterly basis.

There will also be an opportunity to share your experiences of the recent Extinction Rebellion protests at Marble Arch, how your business was or was not affected, and how useful you found our regular email updates.

To register your interest or for further information please email Mike in the BID team.

Marble Arch London BID launched its Business Crime Group in January 2019 as a response to pubs, restaurants and shops requests for tools to deal with certain types of antisocial behaviour, such as begging and harassing customers. We have created some downloads that might help businesses in terms of securing your shop, locking down your premises and security advice for schools  – featured on our downloads page of the website.
