Sinn Féin local election candidate Sinéad Burke has welcomed the recent establishment of a Community Alert Group in Yellow Furze.
She said, “This community alert scheme is the result of very hard work by local residents and the obvious dedication of local Gardai. At the initial public meeting a very large crowd of local residents voiced their concerns at the recent increase in suspicious activity and crime in the area, but committed to work together to engage in crime prevention. The issue of appropriate liaison with victims of crime was relayed to local Gardaí.”
“I have encouraged the local group 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 Yellow Furze 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."
