ROYTON residents took to social media this week to express their concern about the number of empty bags being left behind by cannabis smokers in Tandle Hill Park.

One visitor posted a picture to the “I Love Royton” Facebook page of 10 snap bags they found in the car park. Others took to the group to share their worries about young people smoking cannabis in the area.
