900+ signatures - thank you!   our 900th  was Jez Bond, artistic director of the brilliant Park Theatre!  Other business and community leaders are joining the campaign to combat the Finsbury Park Drugs Emergency. Friday also saw a front page story (see picture) in Islington Tribune Read  And the online Police consultation where we were told  ‘rising drug crime was a perception not the reality’ - this is contradicted by the police’s own stats which show a 95% increase in Tollington from 2019 last year! It will now be much worse. There were 30 or soonline and some heartbreaking stories. We are promised an in person meeting shortly. Watch this space. Keep up the pressure, spread the word - it’s working. We need to assure our 5 point plan is adopted for Community Safety. 

I will be sharing the Police and Council response to our petition and our robust response in the next post.
