Police To Meet Residents Over Anti-Social Behaviour

Police have confirmed they are to meet with residents in L'derry this week over ongoing anti-social behaviour.

The move comes after residents from the Rosemount area staged a protest over the problem at the weekend.

Speaking to BBC Radio Foyle, PSNI Chief Inspector Jon Burrows said more neighbourhood police teams would be on duty at the weekends, but added that everyone had a responsibility to bring the issue under control.

He said: "There is a responsibility on people who are complaining about anti-social behaviour to engage with the police so that we can help them.

"We have amended the shift patterns of our neighbourhood teams so that they are on duty more often at the weekend."

"We are putting our money where our mouth is. These things happen across cities and towns across Northern Ireland, but we are committed to this," he continued.
