needs who are currently inactive or lead
sedentary lifestyles.

four weeks of fun, laughter
and live performances.

Banned
from estate
A man who drunkenly smashed windows
and verbally abused residents has been
banned from entering a Northolt estate for a
year, following prompt action by the council.
Its safer communities team obtained an
emergency injunction banning Christopher
Slattery, 61, of no fixed address, from
entering Smiths Farm Estate within 48
hours of him being seen there causing
criminal damage and subjecting residents
to abuse and intimidation.
A full hearing at Brentford County Court
resulted in the injunction being upheld
and it will now remain in force until
November 2015.

Cinema plans
Acton High Street’s old listed library building is set to be
transformed into a new three-screen cinema, restaurant and
bar by Curzon Cinemas.
It should be ready by the summer of 2016, subject to planning
permission, after Curzon was approved as the preferred
bidder for the site by the
council’s cabinet.
The council moved
Acton’s library into the
newly-rebuilt Everyone
Active Acton Centre. The
proceeds of the sale from
the old library will help
to pay for the £19million
council investment in the
Acton Centre. There are
also plans to build three
flats on the top floor.
