Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
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.

Can I please assume, Eric Easter, that before you passed on this important and frightening information, that you checked it, either yourself personally, or with another reliable source or sources? And crucially, that you have reported it to the Police?
Did you choose the heading "Drug Shanty Town?" Did you carefully check facts (and spelling) before you posted it?

Oh hang on....come to think of it, yes, I did imagine all of that. None of it is happening, I just made it up to entertain myself on a Saturday morning. Of course, I should be spending my time making profound musings informed by boredom, an inate sense of superiority and an addiction to the scribblings of obscure left-wing academics on my local neighbourhood website.

I know this is a pain Eric but you have to report it and keep on reporting it until it gets to the top of the list of priorities for the local police. We have a similar problem with dealing and use where Harringay Passage (a main walking route for kids to both North Harringay and South Harringay primary schools) intersects the Ladder Roads. Reporting every incident is tactic that people on my street have taken. Date, times and locations are important as it allows the police to build up a picture.
