Mum hits out at ‘disgusting’ piles of discarded drug canisters in Billingshurst

She discovered the debris - discarded laughing gas canisters and balloons - while out with her young son walking their dog by Daux Woods.

“There were dozens of canisters on the ground which my eight-year-old son picked up wondering what it was.”

She added: “I’m all for young adults hanging out and meeting up but leaving this all behind is absolutely disgusting.

“My son was just about to put the canister in his mouth thinking it was some sort of whistle.”

She said that just before entering the fields she had to put out a fire that someone had started. “They ran off as they heard us. This also had rubbish around it,” she said.

“Apparently this is happening every weekend and the local dog walkers are clearing it up. This is absolutely disgusting.”

Horsham District Council wardens have also discovered similar debris in the area and say they have contacted the landowner.
