Man 'almost lost legs' through drugs

A former gang member from Brentwood says his own experience of drugs and knife crime has made him want to educate young people about the dangers. Paul Hannaford, 46, says he turned his life around after nearly having his legs amputated due to thrombosis and blood clots caused by years of drug abuse. He's heading to 12 Essex secondary schools from this week to tell students about his life.
