Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Dodgy groups of men around Turnpike Lane station.
I received some police marketing a while ago stating the issue was being "tackeled", and yet there are groups of guys out there blatantly dealing/taking drugs in broad daylight, with seemingly no fear that they may be arrested.
What can we do to make sure that the decent people of Turnpike Lane are not ignored?

I "use" both cigarettes and alcohol but am addicted to neither, and I can assure you I don't require any policing... my choices affect me and me alone...you can't say the same of heroin or crack users

Do the effects of passive smoking and NHS waiting lists effect fect you alone?

Smoking alone outdoors in my garden? No. And how does my occasional fag affect NHS waiting lists?

Antoinette I can't reply to your comment so I'll reply here. You help prop up an industry that kills more people in a day than the illegal drug industry kills in a week.

To be honest I couldn't give a toss if you smoke and drink. I'm. Having a beer now. But to assume that by doing what you do effects no one but yourself is nonsense. -

Maybe Ben et al. But Antoinette (I hope you don't mind me using you as an example) will have to prove her age when buying alcohol (not sure about the fags). It's called Challenge 25 (used to be 21)
No-one needs to show ID when buying weed etc - which is why my daughter and her friend were offered some in Duckett's Common while wearing their school uniform. And I remember a few of you thought this was quite amusing/harmless/irrelevant when I first posted about this. Whose got the last laugh now?

Thank you for bringing us back to the original topic.

I'm certainly not laughing at you Angela and can't see why you think I was . I'm cringing at Antoinette's comment. And let's face it who hasn't been able to buy booze or fags when under age? Watch this really interesting video by my hero Gabor Mate. https://youtu.be/66cYcSak6nE

In response to the concern expressed here the police have arranged a public meeting to update people on what's been happening and to provide an opportunity to ask questions. Details here.

Ah, that'll be why they were over by the Tesco and further down Turnpike Lane then.
