Show Notes

Edinburgh residents have a chance to weigh in on the proposed establishment of the citys second safer drug consumption facility, following the success of Glasgows first facility, The Thistle. The consultation, which runs until July 1st, aims to gather input from locals, workers, past drug users, and their families before any final plans are made. The potential locations include Cowgate and Spittal Street. While the facility has shown promise in reducing overdoses and saving lives, it has also sparked controversy due to increased drug litter and street dealing. The consultation is a crucial step in shaping the business case for the facility and could potentially make a significant impact in the fight against drug deaths.
