❗️ IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ ❗️
Further to our previous post regarding Drayton Meadows, we have the following update:
There have now been 3 dogs who have been reported to have ingested cannabis after being walked at Drayton Meadows. Sadly, one of the dogs has died as a result. The guidance for dog owners is to make sure that dogs are on leads - please adhere to this to avoid your dogs running into any overgrown areas where things may have been thrown.
We have found that cannabis gummies are being left behind which is a serious concern for young children as they resemble real sweets like Haribo. Please be vigilant if you are there with your children or dogs.
The police and local youth services are aware, and pending volunteers we are hoping to patrol the area once or twice a week. We are unable to close the area completely as it would still be accessible by climbing over the gate, so would likely not act as a deterrent for those hanging around there.
Thankyou for your consideration in this matter and for working with us to ensure the safety of our community.
