I rather feel you qualify more for the Gold Award than I!!!

Oh well, never had a Gold Award before ...

Just you made it sound that the PCT were going to behave in a churlish manner and punish the residents for daring to object, which is probably far from the truth.

I am pleased for you that your campaign worked. I do feel a unit such as this is required locally however, and hope they can sort out premises.

I have quite a lot of sympathy for drug addicts and alcoholics myself, as teenagers are persuaded into all types of addictions when young and vulnerable. How many of us do not carry alcohol in the house ?

Feel sure, the PCT will now take another look at this building for a much needed requirement that is missing in Accrington, and for which they can obtain funding ... this building was the obvious one.
