You might associate Finsbury Park with dog walks or Sunday footy...but The Friends of Finsbury Park group says parts of the park are being left a mess because of illegal late night activity.

蜜芽传媒 Radio London's Freddy Tennyson has been finding out more.

Haringey Council鈥檚 Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure, Councillor Emily Arkell, said: 鈥淲e met with the police and will be developing a joint action plan as we are determined to stamp this out in Finsbury Park. It is essential that everyone feels safe inside Finsbury Park, and we have taken 鈥� and continue to take 鈥� strong steps to ensure that remains the case. We鈥檝e installed CCTV cameras and overhead lighting as well as increased staff presence, including ongoing regular patrols, to prevent anti-social behaviour. We are determined to keep Finsbury Park as accessible and open as possible. We recognise in this post-COVID world how important it is to our communities and residents, who commute to and from work via the park and exercise there in the early mornings and late evenings. As outlined in our latest Parks and Green Spaces Strategy, we would only consider locking the park in exceptional circumstances as there is no legal requirement for us to do so. We would encourage park users who witness incidents of anti-social behaviour in Finsbury Park to report it to the police by calling 101.鈥�
