New Lodge neighbourhood watch to be rolled out in whole district

Successful scheme to be rolled out – pic of conor and residents

Sinn Féin councilor Conor Maskey, who has been involved for several years in a neighbourhood watch scheme that has been successfully operating in a part of the New Lodge, has given his backing to the scheme being rolled out across the whole district in a bid to defeat antisocial behaviour.

The programme has been running in the Henry Street/North Queen Street area for some time and the New Lodge Safer Neighbourhood Project are hoping to expand it across the district. The group has leafleted homes in the area to gauge the community response and giving contact details to homeowners.
