New Community Alert Group Established in Stamullen

A new community alert group has been established in the east Meath village of Stamullen. Speaking after the first meeting of Stamullen Community Alert Group, local Sinn Féin representative Sinéad Burke said "This community alert scheme is the result of very hard work by local residents and the obvious dedication of local Gardai. Mindless anti-social and criminal behaviour can be a scourge on an area; it is great to see Stamullen taking a strong and holistic approach in tackling this. The Community Alert committee will be made up of residents from all over the village and representatives from local business. I will be encouraging them to engage with the Meath Joint Policing Committee that was recently secured following lobbying from Sinn Féin. The best resource any community has is its people. The enthusiasm, commitment and determination being shown in Stamullen is an example to all other areas in Meath that strong community policing is the best way to keep an area safe and build community spirit."
