Glenn Barr, said: “Local people are uniting against those who bring nothing but hurt to our community and we called at the meeting for greater feedback to be given to those who take the often brave step of reporting incidences to the police. Banbridge must be seen as a place were dealers are caught and brought to justice and to do so the police need to follow up every bit of information given to them by the community.”
