Heroin is not medication. Do you think alcohol is medication ?
Alcohol and heroin do not " repair the body " They are simply mood-altering chemicals.
If people are sub-letting their homes to pay for heroin ( or alcohol, or cigarettes) they are unlikely to be taking it under medical supervision.
I'm not sure it's "out of control" but recently, and for the first time, I've noticed a few tents in among the bushes on the Parkland Walk, and what appears to be a self made large shelter on the railway embankment near the recycling centre.
It seems out of control too me. Never seen this problem in any other area of London that I have lived in.
I guess, I am just going to have to get used to it.
But isn't that a sad state of affairs when people living on the street is no longer a shocking sight?
It's been quite a while now since Barclays bank area on Green Lanes has been a beggars/homeless pitch. It's shared by several people who seem to take it in turns, alternating who is sleeping and begging there. I live right near there and have been observing the comings and goings. I wonder where they go where they are not there. There is the 'couple' plus another woman and a guy, at least, who use that space and also the pitch under the railway bridge. I wouldn't demonise them as individuals but something is clearly wrong when we have to just accept this as a way of life, drug and drinking habits, on the streets etc. I suppose they used to take place inside peoples homes, when they had one.
Yes, I have seen the 1 at barclays and the other under the bridge. But on Saturday I saw people in doorways on both sides of the green lanes. I then also saw the couple, just on the pavement, where people had to walk around them.
Also during the day, there are several people begging on green lanes. I only moved to Harringay in Feb last year, and none of this was evident when researching the area, and has come up over the last 18 months or so.
I just do not want to accept this!
