Datchet, Horton &  Wraysbury Neighbourhood Action Group public meeting and annual questionnaire  (May/June 2011)

Since the DHW NAG was formed and with the active support of our partner agencies (Thames Valley Police, RBWM Community Safety Team, local Housing Associations, Parish Councils, other agencies and community representatives), we have addressed the concerns and needs which have been bought to our attention in many different ways by members of the three communities we serve. Each year our main vehicle for collecting information and the identification of the three local policing priories for the coming year is via a questionnaire that is circulated in many differing ways within the community. Where possible (subject to volunteers) they have been delivered door to door, through local groups and are available at a number of information points and community web sites. Should you require an electronic copy please email dhw_nag@ yahoo.co.uk. ..More

Drug and Alcohol Action Team issue ketamine warning

The Royal Borough's Drug and Alcohol Action Team (DAAT) is issuing a warning about the effects of the drug ketamine, known as the 'new ecstasy'.

Ketamine (known as K, Special K and Vitamin K) has become increasingly popular nationally and locally. In 2008 the British Crime Survey revealed it was the fastest growing 'party drug' among 16 to 24-year-olds, leading it to be dubbed the 'new ecstasy'. The BCS also stated that reported use (therefore meaning actual numbers will far outstrip this) has gone up from around 60,000 users in 1998 to 113,000 in 2008. 

Di Wright, Drug and Alcohol Action Team Manager and Commissioner, said: "Fortunately, the Royal Borough does not have a huge problem with ketamine or other drugs. However, I urge anyone with concerns or questions to contact the borough's advice and treatment service, T2, by calling 01628 683260. ....More
