Cllr Roodhouse raises concerns over use of laughing gas cylinders

Councillor Jerry Roodhouse (Paddox) has reported and raised his concerns about empty cylinders left at the GEC car park on a Sunday morning and also at Buchanan Road and Whinfield rec car park.

Commenting, Councillor Roodhouse, said:

"It seems clear to me that we are not tackling the problem of nitrox oxide (laughing gas). I can see no education on the subject going on and no tightening of the laws. The cylinders can be bought on line with no checks. The Government needs to do more. Evidence is suggesting that the use of this gas does damage brain cells, whilst leaving them lying around spread across areas could lead to unintentional consequences."
