More details
Just like the government is trying to tackle this current virus from spreading, and trying to address obesity and inequality. It needs to do more to stop illegal drugs on our streets. This disease is having a devastating impact in our communities. Too many lives are lost through drugs misuse. We need to save lives and make our streets safe. The helpline can provide a life line for those desperately in need of support to get that timely support. It can also be used to report drug dealers.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.
The TalkToFrank anti-drugs advisory service, set up by the UK Government in 2003, allows people to seek advice and information about drugs through a confidential 24-hour phoneline, or by email, text, or live online chat.
