There is a war memorial in Uxbridge in a small park/old grave yard , for a while the area was the 'haunt' of drinkers/drug takers/ rough sleepers. Eventually it was declared a 'no alcohol zone' and is now a clean and peaceful place.
Sometimes it takes a council to start enforcing 'anti-social behaviour' rules before an area can change.
