The area should be a safe place for the public to enjoy, especially young people, and we are committed to dismantling drugs networks and protecting the vulnerable people within our communities.
“We would encourage members of the public to continue to report any suspected drug use in their neighbourhood or local area – all the information we receive helps build up an intelligence picture so we can take appropriate action.”
