Antisocial Phonebox

[IdleRich]

Glad to see the police have finally cracked down on this one, it scares me every time I have to walk past it.

The kiosk in Kingsland Road, Dalston, has been nailed shut after police and Hackney council won
a three-month closure order at Thames magistrates' court.

I like the idea that a place can be anti-social!

Just looking at it gives me the chills.

Didn't they do a Peel session some time in the early nineties?

Just looking at it gives me the chills.

I think it was identified as a trouble spot by a police psychogeographer.

Probably should have put this in the Dalston/Hackney thread to be honest. Can anyone actually tell which phone box it is? I can't quite pick out the spot from the background, whereabouts is it on Kingsland Road?
I was also pleased to note that it was "one of the first" phoneboxes to be asbo'd like thi.

It just makes me sick, It's probably illegally claiming DSS too.
