The Government has axed a confidential national phoneline aimed at combating drug dealing in local communities.
People working in the drugs area have been taken aback by the shock news and said the Dial to Stop Drug Dealing service had been "very successful."
The Government said they were moving the service to another confidential phoneline, Crimestoppers, for "cost-efficient" reasons.
Anyone ringing the Dial to Stop Drug Dealing (DSDD) phoneline is simply told it is no longer in service. Calls are not transferred to Crimestoppers, nor is there a message telling callers of its existence.
