We need more cops to solve drug problem
• The chaos surrounding the imminent ban on the legitimate
sale of legal goods termed ‘drugs paraphernalia’
is typical of the council’s incoherent and knee-jerk
approach to tackling drugs.
It is understandable that council officers have no definitive
list stating what can and can’t be sold – as the
council has no definitive idea as to what this latest publicity
stunt will do to tackle the drugs market in Camden.
The reason we can’t have plain-clothed police on Camden
High Street arresting those that offer them drugs – surely
the clearest signal we could send that drug dealing is not
acceptable here – is that we don’t have enough police.
Why won’t the Labour leaders of the council confront
this, the real problem and the only solution – and end
their obsession with media-friendly politics?
