We are petitioning to complain about the increasing drug dealing, drug abuse and antisocial behaviour in and around Cambridge Heath Station.
For years now many of the under signed have raised to the police and other local services the difficulty of raising families in an environment that is dangerous and aggressive and poses a threat to local residents.
Drug dealing in plain day light and during school hours has become rampant.
The area has two primary Schools (Bonner and St Elizabeth) whose families and children are continuously exposed to undesirable role modelling and aggressive behaviour.
Further more the high concentration day and night of rough sleepers that can not secure a space in the Hostel means that they tag tail residents into their buildings making them dirty and hugely insecure with many of them using our houses as toilets and engaging in theft (as you maybe able to confirm with the many complaints raised with the local police, local authority and housing association Peabody).
In the hours of darkness the area is incredibly unsafe with groups of drug abusers and drug dealers parked or stationed outside the station and the Co op supermarket and adjacent streets making it really challenging for all to walk around alone.
In one isolated incident a bunch of 14 year old kids from the neighbourhood were chased by drug dealers and they had to seek shelter at the Metropolis night club, evidence of this was raised to the police.

This Petition runs from 05/09/2022 to 17/11/2022.
