Drug problem on doorstop of St John Vianney primary school

The pocket park on Stanley Road has been overtaken by groups of drug users. They use and deal in open sight of the front gates of St John Vianney school and leave their paraphernalia littered throughout the park and surrounding areas. Many of the local street users can be observed loitering for their latest fix in neighbouring streets and there has been a corresponding spike in car break ins and escalating anti-social behaviour. They also have a habit of taking bagged rubbish from front gardens, rifling through it for anything sellable and then discarding the remnants across footpaths.

They have rendered the pocket park unusable and unsafe for children and other residents.

Broken windows...It's only going to get worse.
