PARENTS, teachers and pupils in Holme Valley schools will benefit from a touring drugs demonstration.

Kirklees Council's Holme Valley South Area Committee has granted £300 to pay for a drugs awareness kit.

The kit, which features mock examples of common illegal drugs, will be taken round schools by Pc Philip Langton, who asked the committee for the cash.

He will give talks to parents, teachers and children about the dangers of drugs and use the box to show them what the substances look like.

Holme Valley parish councillor Royston Rogers praised the idea.

He said: "It is a positive step.

"It shows that if the police, councillors and residents work together the Holme Valley will be a safer place."
