Community alert public meeting to be held Monday

THERE will be a C public meeting in Forrest Hall on Monday night November 19 at 7.30pm. Community Alert is a community safety programme for rural areas with an emphasis on older and vulnerable people.

It operates as a partnership between the community, An Garda Siochana, and Muintir na Tire. It works on the principle of shared responsibility for crime prevention and reduction.

There are currently 240 members of the Community Alert Scheme which is a sub committee of Mitchelstown Community Council.

Superintendent Michael McGuire, Community Garda John Hennessy, Muintir na Tire representative Dermot Cronin and Garda Inspector Michael Corbett will be present on the evening.

This meeting has been called by the North Cork Garda Division in conjunction with Mitchelstown Community Council.

New members and members of the Neighbourhood Watch are welcome to attend on the night.
