As I usually say:
"Go to Bristol".
Calne is a sleepy market town.
We had people sat on our front wall dealing drugs in Bristol. We had the one legged drug dealer (the veins become infected and they get gangrene and have to have limbs amputated).
We had the brothel across the road too. Or a flat with two young ladies living in it, with different male "visitors" every 30 minutes. |

| But Bristol is alot bigger. For the size of Calne we do have a problem. unless you have kids that hang around the town, you wont know how big the problem really is. |

going back ten years needles were found behind campian close in the cut through to the garages at newcroft .the result was the cut through was closed down.
needles have been disposed of from the wreck which at one time was very well known for dealing down there. |

| I happen to work within the Criminal Justice System and yes there are drug users in Calne but as a percentage of offenders they are nowhere as high as say Swindon which as a real problem with drugs. |

Yes all of the above and anything else they can get there hands on, and if your looking for needles etc, they are all over the place... before the new houses were built in anchor rd/horsebrook i found a pile of used needles shoved in a bush! also in the wooded bit leading from horsebrook to shelbourne rd ive found needles, ive also noticed needles and bongs in the bit behind lloyds bank although i think its all been cleared now.......Trust me i know calne has a major problem. |

What you are saying seems to indicate it had a problem, although hard to tell how major it is if you found stuff like this over a long period of time. |
