You couldn't make it up...
Southwark has attained special police powers during August to crack down on nuisance caused by streetdrinking, kids gathered up to no good, etc. The two orders (among other areas) include Camberwell Green and Peckham. It gets really funny (sad?) when you put the two maps together (blue shaded areas included) and note the area squeezed between not included in the orders.
Message to anti-social groups of drinkers and kids: if you are squeezed out of Central Camberwell or Peckham, please come to areas on and around Southampton Way! We're open for business!

Typical. Perhaps the Council will give us some 'welcome' signs.
Our only consolation is that this silly nuisance free initiative isn't going to work anyway.
the worry is that people realise where the police WONT be patrolling and start causing a nuisance there instead! Am sure the Police are aware where the `hotspots` are though.
I'm quite upset by this. I emailed all the Brunswick Councillors and Ian Wingfield came straight back promising to find out more. I'll pass it along if he does. Do the other two ever do anything? We're growing quite exasperated by the groups of drinkers nearby. Summer makes things triple bad.
