Mr Anderson said it was up to the community to keep the education forum going.
Community Drug Action Team chairman, Peter France, a drug and alcohol counsellor said it was “not fair on the community to start something that’s not sustainable”.
The group was formed by police minister Troy Grant in January 2016 and was disbanded within two years.
Mr Anderson said the group got runs on the board when it came to “raising awareness”, building education and support in the community.
