Because of this, Brussels Minister-President Rudi Vervoort put the area on a list of ‘hotspots’ to get more help with drug issues. In these places, alcohol is not allowed, and police can check IDs and search people. To stop drug deals, they have put up barriers to keep cars out. They also plan to have more police, better street lights, and more cameras for watching the area.
