Police meetings welcomed

I attended both Police Community Action Meetings in Fairfield & Howley this week.

We are blessed with a dedicated team of Police CSOs in the area and they make a welcome contribution to community life providing a reassuring presence for local residents.

ASB continues to be the No.1 concern for the majority of people who attend and the police gave re-assurances that a number of operations are ongoing in the area particularly around the Watkin St area which has been subject to gangs of youths causing damage to property.

CCTV is now playing a significant role in the area and will lead to action being taken against the ringleaders.

STOP PRESS

Planners gave consent last night for the former Fairfield Primary School to be converted into a hub for community use. This is good news for the area and special thanks must go to the trustee board who have worked very hard over the past 6 months.
