Public health working to reduce health inequalities
 The Council has now published its Annual Public Health report. It explores the Public Health team and Borough Based Partnership’s work to reduce health inequalities across the borough.
Health inequalities happen when people face worse health outcomes than others due to where they live or their circumstances. Working to eliminate these differences makes Hounslow a healthier and fairer borough for everyone.

Higher penalties across London for drivers that contravene parking or traffic regulations
 From Monday, 7 April 2025, all 32 London councils, including Hounslow Council, and the City of London plan to introduce higher penalties for drivers that contravene parking or traffic regulations.
This will raise parking and traffic penalty charges for the first time since 2011 and is designed to create a more deterrent approach to obstructive parking and to encourage better parking behaviour and, consequently, improve road safety throughout London.

Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
 In the UK, over 7,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer every year. Symptoms include persistent bloating, feeling full quickly or a loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and urinary changes.
It is important to know that these could be due to other more common and less serious conditions. But if you regularly experience these symptoms and they are new to you, it's important that you contact your GP to get checked out.
