Islington Council Breach Left Drug-Takers with Residents’ Details

Yikes!  Gross incompetence; the individual responsible ought to be fired, but will be protected though, no doubt.  (HT: Brickbats)

Extra police patrols are now in place at the Andover Estate in Holloway, north London, following the breach by Islington Council.

Names and phone numbers of 51 complainants were passed to 10 people facing a ban from the estate.

The council has apologised to the affected residents.

A group of people, who are not from estate, began gathering there earlier this year and residents complained about loud music, smoking drugs and verbal abuse.
The council had prepared legal injunctions against 13 people to ban them from the area, and 10 had been served this month.

But those 10 were also given paperwork including a log of all calls reporting anti-social behaviour, with names, phone numbers and street or estate names if they were given.
