Dumped Car

Sent to Royal Borough of Greenwich less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3914567.
It's been here for a few weeks. I think it is being used for some sort of drug dealing as I saw two separate people going into it yesterday evening but as I was taking a photo of it at about 6pm tonight a man said he has seen it in that same place for about three weeks. Huge drug problem in general in the area under that railway bridge - always people smoking weed on the steps just on the high street side. Often people drinking in the area too and littering. Please can we have cameras there so it feels safer to walk? Plus get rid of that car. The regeneration of the area that was due in 2020 seems to have been started and forgotten and all the dregs of hell have returned to reclaim it as their own little hotbed of crime. Vile area indeed.
