Haringey police have agreed to provide extra patrols in Crescent Road, Wood Green, after pressure from the local Liberal Democrats. The pressure follows complaints from residents about drug-dealing and anti-social behaviour in the area.

Lib Dem Leader Lynne Featherstone and Lib Dem ward councillor for Alexandra, Susan Oatway, who took up the complaints from residents, have welcomed the news.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“I am pleased the police have responded on this issue, and we will continue to work with them to monitor the situation.”

Ward Councillor Susan Oatway adds:

“Crescent Road is at the heart of what should be a very quiet residential area, and we need to keep it that way. We are keeping a close eye on things, but any resident seeing suspicious behaviour should of course report it to the police.”
