They have them in Morecambe, Lancs, but they are reinforced steel to prevent criminals extracting the used syringes and selling them.
(The Lancashire coast is an excellent example of unsolved social problems; councils do their best with limited resources. Predictably, these were the people who voted to leave the EU, which has done more to help than any British government, while the well off people in South Lakeland voted Remain.)
It also used to deeply depress me that the UK had a derogation from European rules on street furniture design because we have so much vandalism that everything has to be reinforced and protected in ways not needed in other countries.
