Islington Tribune - News: Estates fear trouble: "Labour councillor Janet Burgess is worried the move will echo the effects of Asbos imposed by Camden on drug dealers and prostitutes around King’s Cross. As a result, they were pushed up Caledonian Road to the Market estate.
Cllr Burgess, former chairwoman of the Police Community Consultative Group, said: “I share that concern because there’s already quite a few problems with vandalism and dogs around the estates of Tufnell Park. It’s right on the border and we know some of the kids are from Camden.”
She added: “I can sympathise with Camden but I am worried about a dispersal order having an effect on us and soon we will have to take steps.”
Lib Dem councillor Ursula Woolley said she was speaking to police about introducing a similar dispersal zone on the Islington side."
