DRUGS were high on the agenda across Halton last week during National Tackling Drugs Week.

Cheshire Police took part in a range of activities to highlight the problems of drug abuse including presentations at schools in the borough and support services.

Insp Simon Blackwell, of the Safer Halton Partnership, said: "The local community continues to provide us with valuable information about drug use and drug supply in their area.

"We would urge people to continue coming forward with information so we can then build up a bigger picture of what is happening and can start to put measures in place to tackle particular issues.

"By working together we can make a real difference to the community."
