trade.

Paget and Warwick neighbours on Ord Road are joining together to plan a battle against local dealers.

They are inviting other area residents to an open meeting at Paget Primary School next Thursday.

And a flier distributed to nearby houses said: "Are you prepared to stand up and be counted? Or are you going to sit back and do nothing until it affects you, and then find out it's too late?'' Organisers hope the meeting will be a forum for people to blow the whistle on drug dealers. The meeting starts at 7.30 p.m.
