"Car park crack-down on anti-social behaviour
By Miriam Craig
Comment
MEASURES to curb late night anti-social behaviour in a North Finchley
Road are set to be introduced at a cost of up to £20,000.
Residents claim that Stanhope Road, off Tally Ho Corner, has become a
regular meeting place for street drinkers, with gangs of youths
gathering in its three car parks and noise often continuing until 1am
on weekends.
Last Wednesday Barnet Council's environment sub-committee agreed a
series of steps to tackle the problem including installing a new exit
barrier, pruning overgrown foliage and improving lighting too dim to
support CCTV cameras.

The committee wants to replace the perimeter fence of one of the car
parks on the road to stop unauthorised access, and apply for
accreditation under the Park Mark Safer Parking Award, a set of crime
reduction standards set by the Association of Chief Police Officers.
The measures are subject to approval by the cabinet resources
committee on October 31.
Anne Hutton, Labour councillor for Woodhouse, said: "We're delighted
the committee agreed that something must be done. Now it's up to
cabinet to come up with the cash. We'll be keeping up the pressure
until the funding is in place and the security measures introduced."
Councillor Alan Schneiderman, also representing Woodhouse, said:
"We'll also be pushing for Park Mark accreditation in all council-
owned car parks - no one should have to put up with the sort of anti-
social activity that Stanhope Road residents have."
The area has become notorious for dogging', according to some
residents.
But council leader Mike Freer insisted this was "absolute rubbish". He
said: "There's no evidence of people having sex in cars being watched
by crowds of onlookers.
"With regard to the other issues, I've already said I will find the
money to fund the improvements. But pushing for Park Mark
accreditation in all car parks is not addressing the fundamental
problem that in some parts of the borough we have symptoms of a broken
society, and if we had more money from central government we would be
able to do more.""

Using DougLogic(tm), a lot of parks needs to be closed too - maybe we could
grow some local produce on them instead?

I'm amazed at how far DougLogic will stretch to get a dig in against
motorists...

Sounds like he didn't read what he posted again, after all these "street
drinkers" and "gangs of youths" are on foot, showing that it's actually
pedestrians causing the problems we need more people in cars going round
these car parks to scare them off.

I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.

When are you going to answer all the questions that people keep asking
you, Doug?

Everybody knows you cant go dogging on a bike, it bends your crossbar.

Only because they're too young to drive. They're wannabe-motorist-
terrorists.

Always plenty to get hold of on my wife, mate, but her chain belt played
