It's when I've been passing around 5pm in the evening, I'm with my baby and it's always unsettling. I've never noticed this problem before at this end of Goldhawk Road and am wondering if it has anything to do with off-licences on the Askew Road?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-12891486752287381032011-03-09T23:38:12.937+00:002011-03-09T23:38:12.937+00:00An incident such as this really makes you wonder a...An incident such as this really makes you wonder as to whether these cheap off licenses are really necessary in the area at all.Souravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02520609813288202251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-21246321380983293342011-03-09T22:38:43.976+00:002011-03-09T22:38:43.976+00:00Application was refused BTW!

I hadnt realised something major had happened until i heard the whimpering of the guy due to the already very crowded bus stop. The injured man seemed much younger and in a very bad way. I overheard the nice lady helping him asking another male if/why they had done this, very bizzarre. I wasnt sure he'd been 'bottled' but the injuries represented that type of attack. (along with liquid and glass all over the floor :-) ) I hope he is ok. <br /><br />Not just this off license there are a large number on the Goldhawk Road however that one does seem to have constant 'loiterers' (possibly cheaper than others?) but all bus stops are the place to hang out so the convenience of the two together does seem to create more chance of trouble. <br /><br />I live on Lime Grove so used to experiencing the effects of hostels/resource centres. It's a very tough subject. 'not in my back yard' type opinion is not one i necessarily agree with but see both sides of the argument.<br /><br />Chris, there were talks of reopening the lime grove resource centre. Is there any update on those plans since the last big discussion? <br /><br />Thanks<br />Donna @donutsdelightsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-2557062180374242882011-03-09T15:28:10.179+00:002011-03-09T15:28:10.179+00:00it's also the general area that our Council wi...it's also the general area that our Council wish to move a homeless hostel to as a result of their plans for Shepherd's Bush Market.

Whenever I pass, there are always a few people completely off their heads hanging around.
