Queen’s Crescent needs a spruce up
• Queen’s Crescent has become over the past two years or so a most unpleasant place to visit (Teen gang kill man, June 15).
This important shopping area is run by Camden Council in a ramshackle way. Drunks loiter outside the betting shops. Drug dealing is allowed to go on openly.
Rogue traders display their second-hand goods anywhere they like, or so it would seem, on the public highway and footpaths in front of the doctors’ surgery.
Shoppers are generally intimidated. White vans constantly obstruct the fire exit at Basset Street. All this goes on right under the noses of the police who patrol the area.
Is it any wonder that Queen’s Crescent sadly becomes a killing field? Anything goes. Why stop gang warfare?
What is needed at Queen’s Crescent is for Camden and the police to get a grip with this unruly place and send the clear message that anti-social and criminal behaviour is not acceptable.
Then and only then will Queen’s Crescent have a chance to be a peaceful and thrive.
