Labour presented a petition to the council bearing more than 100 names calling for a dispersal zone, but the Lib Dems and the police have decided to collect more evidence before deciding if this is necessary.

The scene was played out last Friday in front of a horrified grandmother who was waiting at a bus stop opposite Caledonian Park, in Market Road, Holloway - Islington's main prostitution hotspot.

More than 100 people living on the York Way Estate, off Market Road, Holloway, signed a petition backing plans to introduce a dispersal order to disrupt vice activity on their doorsteps. Councillor Paul Smith, who represents Holloway ward, raised the issue with Islington Council and was told the executive would discuss it at the next meeting on November 20 - but instead the meeting has been cancelled on the grounds that there is "not enough business" to justify it.
