What is the AHCs position on the drug dealing on the Block?
A. Several years ago crime had reached epidemic levels on the Block. At the time, up to 15 drug houses operated with impunity in Louis Street and Eveleigh Street. Since then the AHC, through its redevelopment/relocation program, has demolished numerous houses that were being used as illegal shooting galleries and safe zones for drug dealers and organised crime. As a result of this program, many drug dealers have been relocated away from the Block. In 2005 we estimate no more than 1 drug house remains. The criminal demographic in the area has changed significantly since 1998, with many of the dealers decentralising their operations and only frequenting the Block to conduct business on the surrounding streets occasionally. Although the Block is not as violent or as dangerous as it once was, the AHC considers any level of criminal activity as unacceptable and is striving to eliminate drugs from our community altogether. Needless to say the AHC is planning to adopt a zero tolerance to drug
