Councillor Margaret Tolerton, Chairperson of the Lisburn DPP, speaking at the Hillsborough Village Centre and Kilmakee Activity Centre where she launched the petition, said: “I have given a commitment to the people of this City that we will try our best to keep both of these stations operational, and this petition is being launched to lend weight to that cause.

“We are asking that you support the petition by signing it to illustrate that these police stations are important both from an operational policing perspective and having a visible presence in your community.
