WE now know who is representing St James's ward - Mary Roberts, Labour. She did not even come on this estate to campaign so to say she represents the whole area couldn't be further from the truth.

This estate where I live, there are four houses dealing drugs and supplying. There were drug addicts who moved out 12 months ago but these same addicts are trying to move back to this estate in a house waiting to be occupied. I hope Touchstone do not allow these addicts back as these dealers and drug addicts are blighting the area.

In the letter that Mary Roberts sent out she states that she wants to fight drug abuse so if she comes onto this estate, she will get her chance to prove she can do this.

One house also has regular drug parties, which is beyond a joke.

The police are fighting a losing battle because these addicts and dealers have lookouts, so they tip one another off when the police are around. This has been going on for nearly two years and it needs highlighting to Touchstone housing.
