There must be a change (reader's voice/blog)

The Park neighbour organisation demand changes in the park.
As representative for the neighbours living next to the "needle hill" I will explain what problems we experience every day because of the drug abusers using the park as thier area for distribution and injections of drugs. Unfortunately they do not only use the park as an area, but we also find their needles in our gardens, or they sometimes use our staircase for setting their injections. It is scaring and it makes us feel afraid. We see many youngsters in the park together with the "old" users, and we think it is terrible that so many newcomers are recruited into the abuser group. Many of us are thinking of moving to another area, but we do not think that we who is not doing anything wrong should do this. The police should take some action and split up this mileue instead. There will soon be an election and I challenge the political parties in our city to come forward and give a statement about how they are going to deal with this situation in future.
