There are growing concerns regarding the Nos tubes which appear all over the Borough. The Spelthorne Litter Pickers have drawn attention to the vast quantities they pick up on their litter picking outings. The good news is that Spelthorne Borough Council is taking an interest in the problem. Tom Onions is gathering information to establish how much of a problem it is and there is a public consultation underway. If you happen to come across a large amount of them please record the Day, Date, Time and Place you found them, any contributing evidence and collect the tubes. Tom’s email address is: T.Onions@spelthorne.gov.uk. He asks that in no circumstances put yourself in harm’s way with the users of these tubes. Furthermore, if you come across a large deposit of them (say in excess of 200) please make contact with Tom and he will arrange collection. The public consultation is currently underway amongst residents to see if they support a Public Space Protection Order prohibiting the possession and use of new “legal highs” including NOS in our borough. This is your chance to have a say.
To take part in the consultation which runs from 18 January – 28 February 2021, visit https://spelthorne.inconsult.uk/
