A Glen Cairn pathway where teenagers congregate to drink and smoke marijuana has sparked a call for the creation of an area neighbourhood watch. The walkway, which connects Abbeyhill Drive to Oakburn Road, tends to attract students from A.Y. Jackson Secondary School, located across the road, during the school year as a place to smoke, drink and be rowdy, according to police. “They come out here to smoke their dope and drink their beer,” said community police officer Const. Ryan Strotmann. “I’ve confronted them on many occasions.” The pathway is surrounded by hedges on both sides, which back on to houses on Abbeyhill and Oakburn. A small clearing on one side of the path creates a hiding spot and the unobstructed view of either end gives fair warning to people using the path for illicit purposes if the police show up. The community police centre is in the process of trying to create a Neighbourhood Watch for the area on Abbeyhill, Oakburn and Oriole Avenue. Strotmann said they hope to have a strong presence in the area before the new school season starts again in September, including having officers on bicycles at the entrances to the path. One resident in the area, who’s lived there for over 20 years, said the disturbances happen mostly during the school year. NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH, see 4
