Drug deaths in Swindon surged 70% due to potent synthetic opioids and rising cocaine use, with experts calling for urgent action.
Drug-related deaths in Swindon rose 70% amid a national increase of 2.1%, the highest since 1993, driven by deadly synthetic opioids like nitazenes—up to 100 times stronger than heroin—and a 14% rise in cocaine-related deaths.
Ketamine use is also growing.
Over half of deaths involved multiple drugs, and in 20% of cases, no drug was listed on death certificates.
Experts say the crisis is preventable with expanded access to naloxone, treatment, mental health services, and harm reduction programs, urging the government to act urgently.
