Update 21 September 2026

Work on the estate to tackle Anti-Social Behaviour has been continuing over the past month.

• Patrols from both the police and Parkguard have continued. Several ASB Warnings have been issued, which is being followed up through appropriate services.
• There is ongoing work to tackle some problematic addresses in the area close to Loraine Estate, which is likely to be impacting drug use on the estate.
• We have had to adjust the time of the meeting this Wednesday 23 September due to booking problems. This will be a drop-in event from 4pm until 5.30pm with Community Safety, Estate Services, Police and Tenancy. We will arrange another meeting for a weekend in October.
• Whilst the gate between Biddestone Park and the estate was agreed to be locked for a trial period, we have had some teething issues, where the gate has been unlocked. We are investigating this. The gate should be locked throughout the day and night for the trial, so please contact Matthew.Bunce@islington.gov.uk if you notice it open.
• We have secured funding to install a gate by the bin chamber by Biddestone Road block 233-261 opposite Cranworth House due to reports of drug users gathering/hiding in this space. This was a recommendation during the Environmental Visual Audit that took place in June 2026.
