Residents of Stratford's Townley Court report a resurgence of drug users and criminal activities, prompting local authorities to install bright lights in an effort to deter illicit behavior.
While the installation of hospital-like lighting aims to deter drug users, residents remain skeptical regarding its effectiveness against the broader issues of open drug use and local crime.
One mother shared her distress, recalling how her son encountered a sex worker in the stairwell, exemplifying the blatant criminal activities that residents are facing daily.
However, after increased police presence in the area, some residents noted a temporary decline in drug activities, highlighting the impact that law enforcement can have on community safety.
