IT is great news that the Lancashire Evening Telegraph is sponsoring a telephone hot-line to combat the continuing sale of drugs.

They are a scourge in our society, leaving a trail of anxiety, worry and death to all who come into contact with them and cause much heartbreak to innocent people.

I hope the phone-line will prove to be a big step forward in combatting it.
