Well since August has there been any progress? Not much, sadly.  The council 😵‍💫rebutted our 5 point plan (excuses included:’ it’s hard to get planning for CCTV’ etc, ‘posters don’t work ‘etc). Mr Corbyn 🦀says ‘he meets the Council leader’ but hasn’t responded to a request to involve us in that meeting. 😢The promised police Tollington meeting🚔 - disgracefully - has still not happened. 🤬What are they waiting for- another murder? There has been more sporadic police activity 🚨following media coverage, but not consistently and hot spots like M&S are in daily use for dealing. The council have started an online map 📍 for reporting hotspots . It’s not that easy to use but please persevere .https://www.letstalk.islington.gov.uk/safer-spaces-tollington/maps/tell-us-about-an-issue-in-tollington 

Helpful advice on using the map 😀You need to first register an account. Then a) get to the right place on the map b) click the red or green pin for drug dealing/use c) click ‘ locate ‘ message l, position the ‘pin’ and add a note in the box d) then press green ‘submit’ button.  This last bit is essential!  Put a pin everywhere you’ve seen issues - dealing and using. ❤️

NEXT up : we increase direct action later this month. 🚀And present the petition to the council🏥. Let’s stop the Finsbury Park Drugs Emergency. 🆘 let’s get to 1000 signatures!
