Is there a problem in Gobowen?

[Simple Simon 36]

Yes, there's evidence of regular canabis use (roll-ups, filters, envelopes, grinders etc) and reports of dealers.

 

There's also evidence of extreme anti-social behaviour (criminal damage and dog muck bag slinging), suggesting certain individuals are getting stoned. The Youth Club have said that a certain individual reeks of the stuff.

The chances of getting a police presence, plain clothes or not, is very remote.  I have thought of sending a map to Oswestry Police to remind them where Gobowen is.  The only time I see a police car is when one officer visits his/her relative in Fairfield Cclose a few times a week - or is there a drug problem with the residents??

Now that is finally an answer to why dog poo bags are in trees!  Never thought of dog walkers being stoned.
