Liberal Democrat Councillor for Crouch End, Ron Aitken, has called for action by the local police to curb vandalism and hooligan behaviour which is ruining local people’s enjoyment of the allotments between Shepherd’s Hill and the Crouch End open space.

Mr Aitken says that in recent weeks there has been escalation of stone-throwing and intimidation by young people who have been roaming the area, resulting in damage to allotment greenhouses and fear of assault.

Cllr Ron Aitken (Crouch End) comments:

“Allotments should be quiet and relaxing havens for Haringey residents, so enough is enough. I have made the police aware of the situation and I have received an assurance from Crouch End’s local homebeat officer that action will be taken.”
