AN ALCOHOL awareness event was put on in Saltney, educating parents and children about the dangers of drug and alcohol use.

Police community support officer Dan Hughes said: “The event was run in conjunction with youth services, youth offending team, young persons drug and alcohol team and North Wales Police.

“Any members of these agencies were able to talk to parents and young persons on an informal basis, and hopefully give them some advice and guidance on the potential dangers.

“The young persons drug and alcohol bus came down, where people can talk to staff in relation to drugs and alcohol, and also receive literature. It is hoped this will become a regular occurrence here in Saltney.”
