One of the problems with the centre of Roehampton is the street drinkers who hang around throughout the day, outside the library and post office. Not only are they a problem in themselves; reinforcing stereotypes about Roehampton, urinating beneath peoples’ homes and generally causing a nuisance, but they also take up police time which could be better used tackling more serious crime and anti-social behaviour.

Making the Danebury Avenue area an Alcohol Exclusion Zone will give the police new powers to not only move drinkers on but confiscate and dispose of their drinks. It doesn’t prevent local shops selling, or local people buying alcohol at all: it just means people can’t drink it in public within the zone’s boundaries.

My Alcohol Exclusion Zone should be complemented by real help for those with drinking problems. While that help isn’t being provided by the Conservative council, I’m pleased to say local churches and Salvation Army are working together to see what they can do.

As ever, the more of you who sign up, the stronger our voice will be. Together we can make a difference.

Ban street drinking in Roehampton

I support Stuart King's campaign for an Alcohol Exclusion Zone in the Danebury Avenue area. I petition Wandsworth Council and the Police to introduce a zone as a top priority.
