Another one bites the dust!

I have campaigned religiously for the adoption of No Drinking Zones in areas such as Green Lane the High Road out side the center of Ilford all the way to Chadwell Ward and other antisocially (binge drinking) affected areas. To date after many reassurances this legislation has not been incorporated in these much needed areas. As Chairman of the RNWA I intend to push this agenda forward by working with our local police.

In the picture you can see an image of an Ambulance was called out after a man was seen unconscious on the floor in front of SS Peters and Paul's School, Gordon Road, Ilford. The occurence was captured at around 09:30 on Tuesday night a day after in excess of 20 homeless people were drinking in a rowdy fashion at the same location. I also reported a previous incident and took images of the perpetrators.

This incident transpired to be another incident when a drunken homeless man tried to drink himself to death. Fortunately, for residents in the area this activity will be curbed as I have asked our local Police Safer Neighbourhood Team to patrol the area. Ina addition, the Welcome centre have planning consent to create homeless dwellings to support their counselling and advice work with the homeless. My thanks to High Road Baptist Church for fulfilling this need!!!
