Call to re-establish Community Alert Scheme

By Chris Ashmore

“There were 39 groups in the county, now there are four or five active,” he claimed.

Conscious of an increase in break-ins and robberies over a recent period of time, he felt the community alerts and neighbourhood watch schemes could be looked at again.
