I don't know what the borough is thinking of for allowing these kinds of shops into our town.
Shame on them!

There's never a good place to have a shop that sells legal highs, it will always bring the crowd to someone's door step, but surely town centre is deffo not the right one ?

Can't they just change what they put into the L/H's and put any old substance in even if it may be poisonous  - just because it can be 'legally bought'

Wether it's drink or legal highs being sold. Someone sitting around town out of their face is not a good thing for the town.
Wish I had an answer to this and many other of the town's problems, but I don't.
Just suggestions  ::)

I dont know the answer either but banning things in town doesnt solve the problem it just moves it on.  Follow the path behind the masons pub on chatsworth road, behind mecca bingo upto just before chester st where the gas tanks are, land there has been broken into for a live example...and thats been since the introduction of the alcohol free zone in town...out of sight and out of mind!! Personally think the law needs changing, stop thinking of these bods as crims and understand why they are doing it in the first place
