“Don’t Pee in Our Streets!”  

Camden Council Cracks Down on Public Urination…reports Asian Lite News

Camden Council is taking bold action to tackle the issue of public urination in the borough, especially in areas around Holborn and Covent Garden, with new measures to improve cleanliness and safety. The council is teaming up with the police to increase evening and night-time patrols, issuing warnings and £120 fines to individuals caught urinating on the streets. 

In addition to these patrols, Camden has introduced anti-pee paint in targeted hotspot areas. This special coating causes urine to splash back at the person, sending a clear and unpleasant message to potential offenders. To further raise awareness, posters will be displayed in key locations throughout the borough, reminding people that the streets are not public toilets and providing directions to the nearest public restrooms. 

Councillor Pat Callaghan, Cabinet Member for Safer Communities, emphasized the impact of this behavior on the community, stating, “Not only is this behaviour unpleasant and unsightly, but it also creates a hostile environment for others in the area.” She highlighted Camden’s ongoing efforts to work with the police to ensure that offenders face consequences for their actions. 

Councillor Adam Harrison, Cabinet Member for Planning and a Sustainable Camden, added, “We want our borough to be a clean and welcoming place for everyone. On average, we spend £100,000 each year washing pavements, which could be better used elsewhere if we tackle this problem.” 

The council is also making efforts to improve public toilet facilities throughout Camden, ensuring they are accessible and well-maintained for residents and visitors alike. Members of the public are encouraged to report incidents of public urination via the Love Clean Streets website or app. 

These new measures are part of Camden’s broader effort to address cleanliness and public nuisance issues, including new initiatives to combat fly-tipping and littering across the borough.
