Safety

workers, police, and occasional walkers. cruiser adds 3/31/2009:The police very rarely visit here now and the warning is putting guys off from coming here. Went down last night and still guys cruising so still a good cruising area. Previous Update: A member of cruise has advised that CCTV cameras have been installed at the tower. Police Patrols, Regular in the day & all night! Any single male found wandering by the canal area / surrounding streets ie, outside subway, will stopped & questioned on suspicion of been a rentboy or punter looking 4 rent boy. You?ll be asked for name & address, and do police record check! If dont record you just a stop record sheet and will watching your activity in this area from now on!
