They have held a few community meetings with over 35 attendees, and Ward 6 Alderwoman Stephanie Elliott and Alton Mayor David Goins have been invited to the Oct. 3 meeting to hear their concerns. “It’s just citizens in the neighborhood getting together because there is a lot of crime going on, a lot of homelessness and a lot of drug abuse, and a lot of vacant houses that are so bad that the vines are taking them over,” Robyn Hamlin said. “That provides places for these homeless drug addicts to sleep, who then turn around and go steal.
