Kat's post was not " alarmist "
It was alarming .
I don't think it does any of us any favours to minimise the news ( whether good or bad ) for example, by substituting " incident " for " stabbing ".
Any news on what actually happened, who's the victim and the motive behind the stabbing? Sorry, if this has been mentioned somewhere in the thread. I tried to skim through all of the replies to look for further info, but I might have missed it. I would be interested to know as I live in Pemberton road.
Antoinette, I understand your response should it be a question of just sticking a leaflet in someone's hand or through a letter box and walking away. I accept this would educate no one! Any distribution of leaflets would have to involve engaging with people and explaining that such behaviour is not acceptable, damaging to the community and plain wrong. The intention would be that we get through to enough people to ensure the message gets through. It was only a suggestion in response to a 'call' from Hugh - my fear is we do nothing and the abuse continues!
This thread is strange, are people really saying incidents like this shouldn't be reported because it creates a negative image of the area? are you worried about house prices or something?
I think the people who think crime levels in Harringay are average for London have lived here a long time and are numb to it. I moved here two years ago and have only ever lived in London moving from New Cross Gate - Peckham - Camden - Hoxton - Dalston then here. Its rough as f*ck here! I was shocked how rough it is. The only area I know this rough was around Loughborough Junction near Angel Town in the late 90's. The way this area is ignored by Lammy, Haringey Council and the Police is disgusting - hope something comes out of this meeting.
looking at your recent posts you seem very down on the area in general. the crime statistics just don't bear out what you say.
