As I was walking past Tesco yesterday, past the youths that congregate around there, I was once again so disappointed to see drug deals being made openly on the street. I know that this is not a new problem, but I just don't understand why it is allowed to happen there. All the time.
I'm just wondering if any of you long-time residents of the area could enlighten me on the status of policing the area and why kids can just stand on the high street and deal so openly. Boggles my mind. Thanks!

I don't think that they should be dealing on street corners especialy when people like you get upset about it. I'm sorry i didn't say this earlier.

Could I also suggest you join your local neighbourhood watch, you can meet the local police at the meetings.
Maybe the reason that dealing has moved to the Passage (again) and Green Lanes is because of the concerted efforts made by the police at Ducketts Common over the last few months re drug dealing. It has always been around, just depends on when/where the police concentrate resources on the issue.
It crossed my mind, but I felt that there must be some sort of understanding going on with the authorities and was just really taken aback by it. I do work with the police in Central London for my job and realise just how thin they are spread...but this sort of blatant law-breaking I would hope is on their radar. Kind of feels like everyone is looking the other way sometimes. I'm planning to attend the Harringay Safer Neighborhood meetings to become involved.
