Brent Council Press Release (unedited)
Some of the areas worst affected by the coronavirus pandemic in Brent will receive additional support, as part of the Keep Brent Safe initiative.
A team of council officers made up of staff from across a range of services, including enforcement officers, will be out and about to remind individuals of the social distancing rules, hand out free ‘Keep Brent Safe’ face coverings and ensure businesses and individuals are complying with restrictions.
The teams will be in Church End on Wednesday 7 October, Harlesden Town Centre on Thursday 8 October and Ealing Road on Friday 9 October.
Brent’s Cabinet Member for Public Health, Culture and Leisure Councillor Neil Nerva said:
I want to thank everyone in the borough for continuing to do their bit to keep Brent safe. The vast majority of individuals and businesses have made big sacrifices to comply with the rules to protect themselves, and their loved ones. However, we know that some people still need more information and support – which will be provided by our teams across these days of action.
Where individuals and businesses continue to refuse to follow the rules, more serious enforcement could take place including escalating situations to the Police.
Businesses that are putting individuals at risk by not following the rules can be reported to the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 0808 223 1133 or by emailing trading.standards@brent.gov.uk
Large gatherings should be reported to Brent’s Community Safety team by calling 0208 937 1058 or emailing community.safety@brent.gov.uk
Residents are invited to share their own local initiatives, that are providing support to individuals during the pandemic, using #BrentTogether on social media.

They need to be sticking "Two Metres" roundals on pavements and giving social distancing posters and similar material to shopkeepers, to stick up in local shops.
