DRUGS IN THE GROVE

The nonsense on Grand Avenue and Margaret Street and Thomas Avenue
has to stop. The police and the politicians have to take
responsibility immediately and act accordingly. The drug dealing,
prostitution and assaults have been ignored for too long. Residents
are living in terror.

We have been begging for police to patrol the area and for a
comprehensive plan to eradicate the drug dealing. It will take only
one undercover officer to find out who is dealing drugs. There are
three or four houses where drugs are openly sold 24/7 in the HUD
housing that taxpayers fund from our hard-earned money.

It is the police's job to keep our streets safe. Why should we risk
our lives with zero resources to defend ourselves?
