Security Requirements in Acton ## Where Acton's estates meet its streets Acton sits within the London Borough of Ealing, where industrial estates sit side by side with homes, parks and shops. Within 5km there are four hospitals, including Central Middlesex Hospital and Queen Charlotte's & Chelsea Hospital, and a run of retail centres from Arcadia to Livat Hammersmith. That closeness is the security challenge. Warehouses back onto residential streets, nightlife spills past shopfronts, and estates such as South Acton have their own police priorities around communal areas and parcel theft.
