Call to March

STRANRAER Against Drugs have issued a rallying call for support ahead of this weekend’s anti-drugs march.

The pressure group want to see as many people take to the streets as possible in what will be the second such event in the town this year.

Organisers are hoping that the protest will — like the last one — be peaceful and are keen that folk from throughout the region, young and old, will take the opportunity to lend their presence to the local anti-drugs movement.

Marchers are being invited to gather at The Breastwork car park — the old SeaCat terminal — in Stranraer at 2 p.m. this coming Saturday.

The march, led by pipers, will take a route through the town, culminating with a rally on the Castle Green where a number of speakers will each give a short speech on their thoughts regarding the drugs issue.
