I know this is not strictly a H&S issue, but in this case staff have turned to me for advice We have an office above the shop in the high street. The tenants in the neighbouring flat, are suspected to be smoking illigal substances in prolonged bouts which with the hot weather with all the windows opening is leaving the flat and entering the office. This is affecting the staff to the point now where they have to shut the window. In this weather they are now suffering. This has been reported to the police but to no avail. Not sure what to suggest. Is this a EHO issue? Any advice would be appreciated.

Ivor, Contact your local MP or the best way to get a response from the Police is to phone the Divisional HQ, ask for the media liaison officer, advise them that the local nick isn't interested in dealing with suspected drug offences and ask if they are happy to deal with queries from the local media, in relation to their dereliction of duty. It is truly amazing how many assets can be redeployed to tackle the problem. Try it and watch how fast the problem is dealt with! Quiet time in the media and with the focus on potential police cuts, they don't need any negative press. Press would love this story.
