There has been a great increase in teenagers as well as young adults abusing drugs in the areas of Southall-Ealing. As this has become a great concern over the years MIND THE GAP magazine interviewers organised an interview with Varinder Sharma MP of Southall-Ealing in order to gain the answers to the questions which had been asked by the concerned readers.

Varinder Sharma made it clear that he is aware of the increase in teenage drug abuse and understood many of the concerns towards it. He specified that him and The Labour party have been discussing decisions towards Southall-Ealing in order to help teenagers as well as the community as a whole.

The local MP also made it evident that there had previously been immediate actions taken place in order to reduce teenage drug abuse. The local councils and MP’s came together in order to discuss these issues. They had managed to resolve some of these issues by blocking the alleyways between roads as there has previously been evidence of drug use within the alleys.

Varinder Sharma understood the frustration of the local parents as well as the teenagers and young adults as there is not much to do around Southall-Ealing. He made it apparent to the MIND THE STEP interviewers that there have been plans to have more social groups and SWAT teams. This action will be taken place in order to reduce teenagers from drug abuse and to keep them busy and entertained.
