Whitehawk to benefit from drug awareness cash
3:30pm Tuesday 8th December 2009 in
Thousands of pounds will be spent in the fight against drugs on a city estate.
Youngsters in Whitehawk and Manor Farm, Brighton are set to benefit from nearly £5,000 from Brighton and Hove City Council’s Communities Against Drugs project.
It will fund Safety is Our Goal project, a multi-agency campaign run for 60 seven to 11-year-olds by the Crew Club.
£1,000 will be spent on a campaign to raise awareness of cannabis.
Crimestoppers fridge magnets and a new neighbourhood policing team leaflet will also be distributed.
The spending has been supported by the Whitehawk and Manor Farm Crime Prevention Forum and officers from Sussex Police.

How about paying to keep the youth club open. That WILL help.

This is cannabis. It is a naturally occurring plant. People have been smoking and eating it for thousands of years.
But nowadays a bunch of self-appointed killjoys want to control the lives of everyone else. So we have these laws, passed by expense-thieves called MPs, but that's OK simply because they are MPs, telling other people what they must do and must not do. These MPs are aided in their repugnant intolerance and suppression by a bunch of self-appointed lawmen, called policemen. These policemen know that investigating MPs for theft and fraud is a no no. But trying to scare people about drugs is OK.

What a waste of money. People need jobs, some work on poverty reduction, providing facilities for young people and giving people a sense of worth are needed more than fridge magnets.

Cannabis is natually occuring and has been around for thousands of year? Yeah so has cancer.
I dont think there's really a need to spend £1k on awareness of cannabis though. I expect the youth of Whitehawk know more about it than most.

I would have thought targetting the persistant offenders by a nice little "knock knock" at 3.00am is far more pro-active

I feel so very sorry for those that live there who are honest upstanding folk having to rub shoulders with the likes of Onslow Buckett!
It says a lot about "Whitehawk" glad I don't live there
