Stay safe and report anything suspicious
 Over the last few days and through these challenging times, it is heartening to see communities coming together, standing firm against hate and division. This spirit of unity is what makes Hounslow a remarkable place to live and work.
As we head into the weekend, we urge everyone to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. If you need to contact the police, please call 101 for non-emergencies or 999 if it's an emergency.
Let's continue to support one another and stay strong.
