Following a visit to Hannay Lane N8 by Lib Dem councillors for Crouch End
Ron Aitken and Peter Floyd last week, patrols by police and community
support officers are to be increased, and discussions are to take place
between tenants and the Housing Association that manages the estate.
Elderly residents in one of the blocks of flats recently complained about
harassment from people who do not live on the estate, including abusive
language and vandalism of the door entry systems. Police have also been
called several times in the last few months to incidents involving
anti-social behaviour on the estate.
Cllrs Aitken and Floyd are hopeful that the extra patrols will deter
trouble-makers and that a meeting between residents and Housing Association
representatives will resolve some of the other concerns.
Cllr Aitken comments:
"I have spoken to the Police Community Support
Officers for Crouch End following a visit to the estate where we met many of
the residents.
"We have also written to the Housing Association, London and Quadrant
regarding a number of safety issues which need to be tackled".
Cllr Floyd adds:
"Because Hannay Lane is on the Islington boundary it is
often overlooked when it comes to local services. It is important that we
make sure that residents here get as much support as those elsewhere in the
borough."
