Neighbours fear drug dealers using telephone boxes as 'dropping points'

Distraught neighbours have called for telephone boxes near a Nottingham mosque to be taken down over reports they are being used as "dropping points" by drug dealers. It comes as the community in Trent Road, Sneinton said they only see 'suspicious people' using them, even in broad daylight.

The phone boxes are located in front of the Jamia Masjid Sultania, on the corner of Trent Road and Sneinton Dale. Many said the practice has been "going on for years".

Andrew and Sandra Taylor, long-term residents in the area, said the telephone boxes need to go. Mr Taylor said: "When the grandchildren come here, I just feel like they should not be seeing that - people injecting and leaving drugs in the telephone boxes."
