Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Dodgy groups of men around Turnpike Lane station.
I received some police marketing a while ago stating the issue was being "tackeled", and yet there are groups of guys out there blatantly dealing/taking drugs in broad daylight, with seemingly no fear that they may be arrested.
What can we do to make sure that the decent people of Turnpike Lane are not ignored?

I keep contacting them about the increase in homeless people, aswell as the road traffic issues affecting green lanes,
if we all do the saem it may out pressure on them to take action!

With respect, the local MPs - to be fair to them - have little say in either matter. The first belongs to the Met (Mayor Khan is their boss) and the other two issues are those of local elected councillors.

Still worth contacting both your local mp and councillors until action is taken. David Lammy has responded and given me a politicians response, however I firmly believe if we apply pressure to our mp's, councillors and local police try will soon take notice.

It's definitely worth it. They will most likely only be able to write a letter to the police but these do add up.

100% agree, we all need to consistently call 101 and make the stats reflect fhe actual amount of crime in the area.
We can all work together to make sure everyone knows the true extent of what goes on around here.

The gangs of dealers hanging around the passage on my street and wandering around here more often has got to be a direct result of the "crackdown" in Ducketts Common. Has anyone else noticed this movement down the ladder roads? The groups of guys are getting larger by the day and they are not quiet and respectful, that's for sure.

This morning I was walking my son up the passage to school when I encountered 3 individuals completely blocking my path as they skinned up on the floor. I'm afraid I couldn't help myself and asked them if they really considered it appropriate to be skinning up in broad daylight at 8.30am within yards of a primary school. I was less than polite. They were less than polite back. There would have been no point dialling 101, they would have been gone by the time anyone arrived.

I doubt they will be back. And if my tirade achieves that much, then it achieved something.

Well I'm happy to report that I've not seen those individuals near the school since I sent them off with a flea in their ear, so job done as far as I'm concerned. For me this all relates back to Dr Jackson Katz's bystander theory which proposes that if one is witnessing unacceptable or criminal behaviour and being complacent, then one is subliminally giving the perpetrator the green light to continue his or her actions. Don't walk on by - say something.

I had a very unpleasant experience recently at the bus stop at Turnpike Lane towards Crouch End. A guy, quite drunk or full of something else, racially abused my children aged 4 and 5. We had done absolutely nothing to him and he was angry of the bus driver not taking him when he knocked on the closed bus door. Unfortunately he kept returning to the stop where we had to wait a full 20 mins for our bus. Bystanders chased him away, but the experience was quite unpleasant and never experienced before. He also insulted other people who critizised him and tried hitting on a young girl. I was on the brink of calling the police, but was under time pressure and had to catch the bus so didn't. But it was certainly a very unpleasant experience for me and the kids.
