CANNABIS SMOKER IS TOLD OFF BY MP ROCHE

A DRUG-taker was forced to retreat after getting a ticking off from Hornsey 
and Wood Green MP Barbara Roche.

The MP was on a walkabout in Wood Green on Sunday (January 16) with 
Haringey Council's education spokesman George Meehan when she stumbled on a 
man in his 20s smoking cannabis in a stairwell.

Ms Roche said: "I passed him and I thought we would not like this in our 
area or near my family so I said he should not be doing it here.

"Looking around you speak to residents and they say drugs are a problem and 
not what they want in the area.
