Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
People urinating in public - Haringey council refuse to do anything
Getting tired of calling Haringey council again and again to report people urinating opposite our house.
Have called them multiple times over the last two years and still the problem is there. The shop on the corner needs to be closed as they sell the alcohol to these people, they drink outside the shop, then urinate on the wall and go home.
Enough is enough. Something must be done about this.

Do you mean mobile phone pics of the offenders?

Yes, in an ideal world this is true. The best scenario would be access to public clean toilets. Buttttt...so people have zero respect for these. They would be soiled and vandalised continually. Making them economically unworkable.
Just as an aside...I've never seen a female urinating in the street.
Somehow they seem to manage to hold their bladder on the Ladder.

We women are taught from an early age to hold it in and not drop our drawers... it's just not as easy as for a man to pee in public.... I bet those men who do would be horrified if they saw women do it, or maybe not..... despair.

You've obviously never hung around Bigg Market in Newcastle on a Saturday night.

Completely agree Marc. Availability of toilets would be great but many of the people urinating are those who've just been drinking on the street - not something someone who knows they have a weak or small bladder should reasonably be do.
It's a behavioural and cultural issue - by which I don't mean any particular ethnic or national culture but rather what those individuals have been exposed to. In Finsbury Park and say at the local McD's I've seen people drop litter at their own feet while there's a bin literally a metre away.
I don't know if availability of facilities or polite reminders can achieve anything. I've come to the conclusion that only censure and / or punishment can work in such cases.

I do like signs encouraging good behaviour and in fact even have one asking people nicely not to litter outside our house - which has resulted in none being tossed into our little front garden.
But Marc I fear this one might be too sophisticated for these particular offenders :( Besides I don't think they're from the ladder, much less think of it as their ladder.
