mr.blaze   10 #4 Posted May 24, 2004 It depends what you mean by 'drug use'  If you mean heroin then just about any dark concealed area in the city centre is probably visited by an addict at least once a week.  If you mean all drugs then just about everywhere you go someones smoking weed or pilled up somewhere.  A place called The Dockers was prolly most famous for drug use and dealing but it's now shut down. I could name a number of pubs and places but I'm not stupid. People aren't going to advertise where that kind of thing goes on.  Are you really doing a study? Or do you just want to find out where to score a weed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mattski   10 #6 Posted May 25, 2004 What about 'the Square' in Broomhall these days?  Had an interesting experience there back in the early nineties involving a gun and a piece of a chunky bar.  M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Rich   12 #7 Posted May 25, 2004 If the Star is to be believed, areas like Shiregreen, Manor, Pitsmoor and the Park Hill flats are the most notorious for stuff like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

HarrietStar   10 #9 Posted May 25, 2004 well i presume illegal drugs otherwise 'rogue rose' wouldn't need to know specific areas cos most areas have paracetomol! as for illegal drugs, like j-blaze said, weed and other drugs can be found anywhere, don't assume it is only certain areas with drug problems!

Ned Ludd   10 #10 Posted May 25, 2004 I understand that the gallery at the markets was a problem area at one time and ironically, around the new courthouse (out of hours!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
fnkysknky   10 #11 Posted May 25, 2004 Yes I was being sarcastic, of course I know she meant illegal drugs but that would still include everywhere being that weed is still illegal and a large percentage of the population of all classes toke. As for other illegal drugs - it's pretty much the same - all areas have users and addicts.  Maybe a bit of a better definition in the first place would have been helpful?

1Man&hisBMW Â Â 10 #12 Posted May 25, 2004 If you go onto Rockingham Street there is a drugs rehab clinic I think (next to the new luxury flats dare i say!) Â Maybe they cant help a little with stats - ie. where a most of their clients reside (overall stats not individual of course) Â Im sure they can give some pointers for a study - they may even compile a yearly report on their findings.
