Rid the
lock of dealers
• I am appealing to you on behalf of my fellow
traders, residents and visiting tourists of Camden.
At a time when it appears that Camden Council is happier
spending taxpayer’s money on traffic wardens than on stopping
the drug dealers on Camden Lock Bridge, I f have to question
the morals and integrity of this government.
On Saturday January 28 a man was stabbed outside Camden Town
Tube station. The next day you might expect to see an increase
in the number of police patrols. This wasn’t the case,
just an increase in traffic wardens.
On the Sunday I walked over to Camden Lock Bridge several times
and each time I was accosted aggressively by different youths,
offering me “coke” or “weed”. I was also
witness, as were several tourists, to deals going on in the
vicinity.
How do they justify such an obvious imbalance between the presence
of police compared to the number of traffic wardens? It seems
that this government have the ability to use surveillance cameras
in order to issue a fine for a traffic offence but not in order
to deal with drug dealers?
Visiting tourists don’t wish to see this. We are struggling
to earn an honest living and we are faced with these aggressive
dealers.
