Drugs move in to Carlton
Melbourne Weekly Times 30 Aug, 2011 04:00 AM.
POLICE patrols around North Richmond have partly moved the area's drug problem into Carlton, causing issues for public housing tenants.Drug users are now injecting heroin at the Carlton estate on Lygon Street to avoid police detection.
Yarra Drug and Health Forum executive officer Greg Denham said the service became aware of the problem last month when officers reported a "significant" increase in used syringes disposed at the estate.
"There's no big history [of drug use] there. We think there has been some movement in the drug market from North Richmond."
Mr Denham said the issue could present a problem for tenants as the needle disposal bin at the estate had not been designed for high use.
"There's a risk that if the [needle disposal] bins are full, people must discard their needles in public places. "
Richmond Police Acting Sergeant Michael Keddie said police patrols had not increased along Victoria Street. "It's still standard stuff – van patrols and foot patrols most days around the street and estate." Police are planning a drugs blitz across the inner-city in November, Mr Keddie said.
Despite the movement, Victoria Street remains a significant scene of Melbourne's drug trade. Earlier this year, CCTV was proposed to to deter to the drug trade. The council has not made a decision on CCTV yet.

City of Melbourne acquires Kathleen Syme Centre For Carlton
City of Melbourne has acquired the Kathleen Syme Centre from the State Government to develop into a community centre for Carlton residents.
The purchase price from State Government is $4.88 million.
Lord Mayor Robert Doyle said he was pleased that this Council had been able to finalise this purchase.
“I’m very pleased on behalf of Council and I’d like to thank the State Government who has worked with City of Melbourne to sell us the Kathleen Syme Centre,” the Lord Mayor said.
"The purchase of the Kathleen Syme Centre will enable us to develop a state of the art community hub for Carlton residents.
“It's in a great location and will allow us to provide a range of quality services and activity spaces to residents well into the future."
The State Government finally agreed to Council’s request to purchase the Kathleen Syme Centre (251 Faraday St, Carlton) component of the Royal Women’s Hospital in April 2010.
The historic Kathleen Syme Centre building, formerly known as the Faraday Street State School Number 112 was constructed in 1876-7 and was the winning architectural design in an 1873 competition for new schools.
Future Melbourne Committee (People and Creative City) Chair, Cr Jennifer Kanis said a contract of sale has now been signed for the 1691square metre property.
“The historic building will require considerable fitting out to convert it into a community facility and we look forward to working with the Carlton community to identify the best use of the building and the services that it will house,” Cr Kanis said.
The purchase of the Kathleen Syme Centre is in addition to Council’s $5.9 million commitment to upgrade the Carlton Recreation and Family Resource Center.
It is Worth noting the Carlton Residents Association has campaigned for the deal starting with the previous sate government and continued to the Current Government. We give credit when it is due.
Now the resident of the wider Carlton and City of Melbourne have work together to utilize it for the Common good of the Community.
