State of the streets

Just been down Upper Street/Highbury & Islington streets are still such a state. Smashed bottles and glass everywhere...

Club and the fans should really be doing more to clean the streets...

As a Season Ticket holder and massive fan who enjoyed all the celebrations I personally think the club should’ve been involved with the clean up. Would’ve been a big positive PR move for them as much as anything.

Maybe it’s just lack of experience! 😂 if we win more in the coming seasons (🙏) then hopefully there’ll be some lessons learned.

They have been active and involved. They were responsive to our residents association concerns, provided security, blocked off some residential roads etc. Clean up started immediately as well straight this morning.

Bollocks have they. It’s 1am 24 hours later on Drayton park and the only people who have done anything are the building residents and the businesses. One business next to the wall which stopped ambulances getting through has spent three hours sweeping the street. The residents deserve a tiny bit of respect here.
