Cllr Williams, who replaced Andrew Wilson, met with the PSNI Area Commander, Chief Inspector Stephen Reid and Inspector Martin Ruddy, to discuss policing priorities for the area.

Councillor Williams said: “A number of issues are of immediate concern to me, namely domestic violence; elderly isolation and fear; crimes against the farming community; anti-social behaviour; ‘boy racers’ in our car parks and along the Marine Highway; drugs, prescription drugs and so called ‘legal highs’.

“I am delighted that the PCSP was able to agree funding for five community projects for the coming months, including a criminal justice support worker for Women’s Aid; support for the work of Castle Boxing Club; the ‘Pathways for Participation’ programme to be delivered by ONUS; a youth engagement project by Youth Concern Whitehead, and a programme of domestic and elder abuse training to be delivered by the CITHRA Foundation.”
