Racist Grafitti etc in Brentford Recently

I am saddened and angry to find that after many years without racist graffiti in locally, I am aware of at least 2 incidents  in the last 2 weeks. The first just off Green Dragon Lane, when an offensive note was left under a resident's windscreen telling him to move his car from where he always parks outside his home.  His car's registration plate was also defaced with a marker pen. This was reported to the police who are investigating.

Then on Saturday in Lion Way, behind the High Street, a large "EDL" was written on the wall and the Lion Way sign defaced, again all done by marker pen.  This was cleaned up within 2 hours of being reported to Hounslow Highways.

I have raised this with the borough police and the hate crime team base at the Treaty Centre.  The issue is being discussed at the Brentford SNT Panel on Thursday night.

Please keep a look out for offensive messages of this sort, and report them to the police,  contact@hounslow-hatecrime.org.uk, and let local Councillors know as well.

We cannot let this abhorrent behaviour go unchallenged.
