MY daughter was fortunate enough recently, thanks to Smithills School, to attend one of Mr Paul Betts drug counselling sessions. Paul Betts being the father of the late Leah Betts, who unfortunately had to pay the ultimate price for being tempted to take drugs.

May I please, through the Bolton Evening News, just say a big thank you to Mr Betts, for the great message he is sending to the youth of today on the real dangers of being tempted by drugs.

From a thankful parent.
