Gangs drawn to late night shisha cafés in Uxbridge Road are responsible for a spate of violence which saw five people stabbed over the Christmas period, according to the prospective Tory MP for Shepherd's Bush.

One 24-year-old man was hit over the head and stabbed twice in the back after being set upon by a group of six men just before midnight on Christmas Day, on the corner of Warbeck Road.

Gritters were working through the night and early this morning (6) to prepare the streets of Hammersmith of Fulham for the expected deluge of snow, although heavy blizzards are yet to hit west London.

Only one school - St John's Walham Green Church of England Primary in Fulham - was closed due to staff shortages caused by the winter weather.

Tory leader David Cameron will take questions from voters at an event in Hammersmith tomorrow night (5).

Opponents of a contentious housing scheme in Shepherd's Bush are planning to attend to voice their anger over Hammersmith and Fulham Council's approach to development, as the Conservative authority is widely seen as a flagship for Cameron's potential government.
