HEALTH chiefs are looking for new premises for a drugs drop-in centre in Gravesend.
Thames Gateway NHS Trust has closed the Parrock Street drop-in centre because of security concerns.
In the meantime, drug addicts will be able to use the Hollies Project at Stone Hospital in Cotton Lane, Stone, or visit Kent Council of Addiction (KCA) centre which is also in Parrock Street, Gravesend.
Manager of Thames Gateway NHS Trust's mental health directorate Mike O'Meara said: "The building is closed as a result of the trust tightening up its safety policies. We carried out a risk assessment which raised concerns the building is isolated and the staff who work there were vulnerable."
