Action Must Follow Community Safety Meeting
Speaking after last night’s meeting of the local Community Safety Forum, Sinn Féin’s representative for the Mayfield area, Pat Coughlan, said the authorities now needed to follow up with action.
He said:
“Last night’s meeting of the Community Safety Forum for Mayfield saw a massive attendance of over 150 local residents. Many expressed anger and frustration at what they saw as the neglect of their community by the council and the poor response from the Gardai to issues of criminality and anti-social behaviour.”
“While the meeting provided a valuable forum for people to have their say with council officials and senior Gardai present, it must now be followed up by action.”
“The council must take steps to reduce the number of boarded-up houses in the area and improve the public realm through better street lighting and the closure of alleyways which have facilitated drug-dealing. It must also, crucially, fast-track the process of evicting tenants who are engaged in criminal or anti-social behaviour.”
“The Gardai must continue to engage with the community to police it in a way that is more responsive to the needs and concerns of local people.”
