Hide AdRick Cowlard, 34, of Cornwallis Gardens, found the wraps and a bottle of methadone lying by a bench.
He said: "It's disgusting. Imagine if a child had picked that up.
"I saw a syringe on the ground yesterday.
"There are drug deals that
happen round here every single day.
"The police may have arrested a few people but this is still going on."
Mr Cowlard alerted police who took the items away for examination.
Chief Insp Taylor said: "This may have been a result of people dumping drugs after the raids. It is being investigated."
