Speaking to local residents this week, most people have been supportive of putting a stop to it. I think as you say, it just needs one person to get the ball rolling. Thanks again for the advice. And I will be contacting the ASB team as well as my local councillors to see what can be done. I think I, like many of the residents have buried our head in the sand or what has been going on.

I will pursue this avenue again and see if I can't find someone at the council who can assist with this.

<p>Also from what a couple of people have said to me, Kim's advice to gather evidence is sound. Also keep informing the police. You can use 101 unless its an emergency. The main thrust seems to be to keep on until enough evidence is gathered to take action. </p>

<p>We were the only residents taking pro-active action, it really was a case of "us and them" but someone had to step up and thats why I succeeded in the way I did! Just because your one person doesn't stop you from making the difference, but always err on the side of caution, every situation is different and unique! In terms of key bollards etc we spoke with our housing officer, for your case I would suggest you speak to Haringey's ASB team and ask them for further advise about key bollards…</p>

In terms of key bollards etc we spoke with our housing officer, for your case I would suggest you speak to Haringey's ASB team and ask them for further advise about key bollards and preventative measures, it'll be a long and arduous process but one way of aiding your situation and if the council can;t help get onto your local councillors and MP and local papers, there will be something they can do you just need to be really persistent!. P.s. Buying the land is viable, and then your in complete control! </p>

<p>Thank you Arthur. </p>
<p>There is a St Ann's Safer Neighbourhoods Panel, which is led by residents who should be able to help support you in raising this as a hotspot area.</p>
<p>I am a bit concerned, where you are describing sounds like the other end of my estate. We had this problem about 16 years ago. I was only 19, living on my own and used to come home and prostitutes were using my steps to have sex. Times I would have to wait til they finished, other times I'd walk over used condoms…</p>

I was only 19, living on my own and used to come home and prostitutes were using my steps to have sex. Times I would have to wait til they finished, other times I'd walk over used condoms and needles. </p>
<p>I used to sit in my house and hear people having sex whilst Eastenders was on. </p>
<p>It will get better, but it takes collective action and a lot of nagging the right people (politicians, police etc) to do something. Thankfully others on my road did this and I learnt from that.</p>

<p>They're all new, all unproven so should be raring to go. I've no idea if any of them are any good. I'd send an email to them all and let them work out between themselves who's going to handle your case. You could do worse than copying Lammy in on the mail too. Try david@davidlammy.co.uk</p>

Thank you for your response Kimberley. The house is actually ex council and we are still paying off the mortgage. I have lived here all my life. The key bollards and lighting is something I was thinking of aswell...which department at the council helped you to arrange this? Your advice in helping these youths turn their lives around is a nice one in principal, but when your the only resident who deals with the brunt of it and having to witness so many different groups of youths and people come…
Thank you for your response Kimberley. The house is actually ex council and we are still paying off the mortgage. I have lived here all my life. The key bollards and lighting is something I was thinking of aswell...which department at the council helped you to arrange this? Your advice in helping these youths turn their lives around is a nice one in principal, but when your the only resident who deals with the brunt of it and having to witness so many different groups of youths and people come and go, it gets to a point where you have to accept its a losing battle. I have seen the area change so much in good and bad ways, but if it was a joint effort from all the residents then that could work. But most people are happy to turn a blind eye as it doesn't really affect them as much. The area around the corner to my house actually serves no other purpose than to act as a cloak for this breeding ground of criminal activity. I would also be keen to look at whether the council will let me buy the land and be able to extend my garden walk to seal this corner off.

Yes it does fall under St Ann's ward. Is there any of the three who I should contact in particular or just get in touch with all of them?

<p>P.s. alternatively if things are that bad, complain to your landlords, the council, haringey ASB team, your safer neighbourhood team and more importantly KEEP A DIARY of events, record as much evidence as you can, but be discreet! Without a detailed log of incidents it is incredibly difficult for the police/local authorities to take action! And if you feel the police aren't doing enough you can request a face to face meeting with the borough commander, thats what I did!</p>
