Have you spotted the small silver canisters littering the street?
The canisters once contained nitrous oxide, otherwise know as laughing gas, hippy crack or Noz.
The empty canisters have recently been spotted in gutters around the village but over 50 littered the area around the MUGA at the recreation ground off Mill Lane.
Around the country the use of nitrous-oxide has been linked to anti-social behaviour by young people and in communities, large and small.
The gas can be bought legally but only for use in making whipped cream.
Found at the recreation ground
On average five people a year die after inhaling the gas.
Taking nitrous oxide can cause:
feelings of euphoria, relaxation and calmness
fits of giggles and laughter – hence the nickname ‘laughing gas’
sound distortions and hallucinations – when you see or hear things that aren't there
stop you thinking straight
cause short-lived but intense feelings of paranoia.
The gas is the second most commonly used drug among 16- to 24-year-olds in England after cannabis.
