Arbroath legal highs campaigners have vowed to stand shoulder to shoulder with their Montrose counterparts.
It comes in the wake of the news that concerns have been raised in Montrose after it emerged legal highs are still being sold there.
Councillor David May has contacted the police and the council’s environmental health department after worried residents brought the matter to his attention.
The town’s legal highs store High Life closed its doors recently and was replaced by a new shop called Evapeolution which sells e-cigarettes.
However, it has emerged the same staff are working in Evapeolution and legal highs are still being sold from the High Street outlet.
Derek Wann, a member of the Arbroath Against Legal Highs steering group, said: “After months of campaigning to bring a halt to the sale of these legal highs from our streets, we thought we had succeeded.
“However, from reading The Courier and noticing that the Declaration shop in Arbroath is still open, we still have work to do.
“We shall not give up on this worthwhile campaign and whilst education is the way forward, we also feel that stopping shops from selling these substances is a must.
“I will be speaking with the members of both Arbroath and Montrose groups in order to alert them all again and I will be calling on Angus Council and Police Scotland to see what can be done.”
Last month three Taysiders were admitted to hospital after overdosing on a legal high called phenibut, giving them heart problems and confusion for 36 hours.
Store staff say the products are not meant for human consumption.
