Fighting a losing battle (From Dudley News)

Fighting a losing battle

ON Tuesday May 22 on Central News there was a story about two druggies in Birmingham who now give talks to students about the dangers of taking drugs.

On Wednesday May 23 residents had a leaflet drop through the door Neighbourhood News Annual Guide to Policing in the area making Dudley North a safer place to be. This is a load of rubbish.

I recently went to an AGM of a tenants and residents association and four streets in the area all expressed major concerns of druggies and dealers operating in the area and not enough being done.

Residents of one street are getting so fed up with the druggies and dealers that the residents are forming an action group to fight them.

Why don't the police admit that they are fighting a losing battle against the druggies and the drug dealers in the area?
