Two More Head Shops Close- Cllr. Callan
Deputy Mayor- We must keep Head Shops out of our Town.
Deputy Mayor, Kevin Callan who has been working with owners and landlords to ensure that the activities of head shops cease in the town has said that the owners have made a huge difference to the town and our young peoples safety by taking these steps in closing two more head shops.
Cllr Callan said that Drogheda has seen a huge number of shops spring up in recent times in the town and that the town is unique in having the shops close in such a short period of time.
“I am very grateful to the owners of the latest shops that closed for working constructively with me. Purple Haze on the Quays and Samara at Peter Street have ceased trading. This town and the business community are leading the way in having these shops close down. I am also grateful to all the owners who have been proactive in removing tenants who chose to sell dangerous substances to our young people. To date property owners have taken this course of action in Drogheda, the direct result of these actions is that the possibility of young people accessing the substances has been seriously reduced”.
Cllr. Callan has thanked the Chamber of Commerce for its assistance in notifying its members of the need to exercise caution when leasing commercial properties in the town to people who may be seeking to operate as head shops.
“We have seen a number of shops close, these tenants will be looking for new premises in the town and we need to make sure that they are not allowed to fool any letting agents or owners of properties, to date members of the business community have behaved in a very decent and cooperative manner in stopping this activity and this needs to be recognised.
On the 5th May at 8pm in the Westcourt Hotel, The Drogheda Community Drugs and Alcohol Forum will be holding a Head Shop Illegal High Information evening with Dr. Des Corrigan, Head of Pharmacy at Trinity College and Chairperson of the National Advisory Committee of Drugs and with qualified counsellors in the area of assisting parents in drug proofing children.
“I think this evening will be of great help to parents and all people working with children and will be worth attending as there will be question and answer sessions and information documents. There are many different substances, side affects and dangers and these will all be discussed at the meeting.

It was good that the problem was sorted out amiably. I guess the head shops should be located at some more suitable place away from the normal areas in the towns.
