Coleraine community group to hold public meeting over concerns about drug use and associated anti-social behaviour
A Coleraine community group is to hold a public meeting to address growing concerns around drugs and associated anti-social behaviour in the area.
Millburn Community Development Ltd has organised the meeting in Millburn Community Centre on Thursday, August 13 at 7pm.
In a post on its Facebook page, the group said they had met with East Londonderry DUP MLA Maurice Bradley “following the serious concerns raised by our community over the increasing drug issues in Millburn”.
The post continued: “Over the past 12 months, we have seen a growing number of concerns around drugs and associated anti-social behaviour.
"Our community wants representation, answers and action.
"We have therefore decided to hold a Public Meeting to give residents the opportunity to come together, raise their concerns and have their voices heard."
The group said the meeting would provide an opportunity for residents to raise concerns about drug-related issues in Millburn and discuss how to lobby relevant agencies.
"We want to hear directly from the people who live in Millburn. Come along, have your say and stand together with your community.
"We believe Millburn deserves better, and by standing together we can work towards bringing our estate back to the safe, vibrant community we all want it to be.”
