We the undersigned call upon the Welsh Assembly Government to-
-Implement a proper needle exchange policy, not giving out needles unless used needles are brought back for safe disposal. We cannot accept countless used needles abandoned on our streets.
- Acknowledge the distress caused to residents and owners of private land on which used needles and drugs paraphernalia have been left.
The WG should provide the funds to commission the rapid clearance of such items including off private land.
- Review their commissioning policy for allocation of grants to agencies which engage with individuals who are users of drug and alcohol, so as to take account of the impact their activities have on the lives of Wrexham residents, with particular attention paid to the impact Ty Croseo has on the lives of residents who live in the Grosvenor electoral ward in Wrexham.
- Review service provision and establish a single centre to house all agencies in an appropriate location.
- Review their legislation on the provision of Houses of Multiple Occupancy, with a view to protecting the interests of people who have bought or rented their homes in expectation of not then having to then live with their neighbouring residential properties being occupied by more adults than these properties were originally intended. Any new legislation needs to compel Landlords of all HMO's to sound insulate all party walls.
We the undersigned call upon the North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner to address the issue of inadequate police presence in Wrexham so as to tackle the blatant drug dealing that is taking place in our community streets and town centre on a daily basis.

Fair enough these people may have had a bad life that put them on the road to drugs. But the children of rhosddu should not pay the price with their health or lives.
Playareas should be a safe haven for fun for children, not a dangerous minefield of sharp potentially life threatening hypodermic needles! This has to stop! For the safety of people within our communities, we cannot continue with this needle lottery on our streets! Ask yourself... Would you want this where you live and where your children play?
the area where I work has a constant supply of used needles abandoned by drug users. This is not good for us as employees, nor our clients. it certainly can't be a good thing for anyone coming across a used needle, including children.
At least 3 regular people sleeping in salvation army doorway at night and seen as late as 10.15am on a weekend still there. Do not feel safe walking by at any time now and no longer walk into town anymore or to the gym because of what I have to pass every time. Such a shame to see what was a nice area to live in take such a bad downturn. Please can SOMETHING be done?
We have just moved from rhosddu after 15 years and the field and park in front of us was terrible children can't even play on the park safely due to needles and druggies everywhere
I heartly agree.
I`ve recently moved back to Rhosddu after living in Coedpoeth for 22 years and I`m appalled by the sight of drug deals taking place on Rhosddu Road. Its a lovely place to live but is being marred by these wasters.

Leaving dirty, used needles lying around can't be allowed to continue. An exchange - 'old for new' has to be implemented. Discarded used needles is a health risk to all in our communities.
