A Grimsby councillor has called on parents to be more aware of what their children are doing in the evenings after a large stash of gas canisters and drug equipment were found near a playing field. Two boxes of of large canisters of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas were left strewn at the car park outside King George V Stadium on Weelsby Road. There were also balloons and wraps of powder, some with a cannabis leaf motif.
They were later removed by North East Lincolnshire Council staff. "I would ask those that take such items not to do it. They simply do not know what is in it.
They are clearly not aware of the long-term health consequences. They are not worth the risk," said Councillor Matt Patrick for Heneage ward.

Taking drugs like this could be deadly. It is also important for people who see such activity to report it to Humberside Police by calling 101 or if they think there is an immediate danger to call 999. That way police can log an incident and keep a detail of where children are taking drugs and add it to their intelligence-gathering systems.
" The long-serving councillor said he was pleased a number of activities for young people will soon be opening in Heneage wa.
