We\u2019ve previously reported on women\u2019s safety both in Kent and nationally. There\u2019s been a growing concern and an increase in spiking in Kent, with a new form of injecting girls in clubs. Due to the lack of urgency from clubs and local authorities, Canterbury Labour Party have organised a \u201cReclaim these Streets\u201d March on November 4th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A recent spiking incident involving two young girls allegedly took place in Club Chemistry on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The police have been notified and are currently investigating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Club Chemistry have been under fire for their negligence in relation to the situation and their lack of responsibility following a statement released on their official social media page. A Club Chemistry spokesman said: “This week an allegation has been made against the venue implying we were negligent in our care for an individual. This claim is false.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Following this a number of people without evidence have attacked the business or its human beings online. These people will not be welcome back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Drink spiking is a terrible thing that needs to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It doesn’t stop by attacking venues, it stops by people not putting things in other people\u2019s drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If you are thinking of putting something in someone else’s drink, don’t.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rihan Shillabeer, a youth officer for the Canterbury Labour party tells us: \u201cThis year particularly for women, it\u2019s been quite a volatile year from the death of Sarah Everard to then Sabina Nessa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s led to this overspill of anger and finally women are in the mainstream media talking about assault that affects us – it\u2019s always been so surface level until now. Very recently there\u2019s been a national movement of women having enough and saying let\u2019s bring this to the forefront, let\u2019s talk about it\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
