Property Marking Campaign

June the 11th saw the Safer Communities Action Group, along with the Neighbourhood Police Team, undertaking a Property Marking Campaign within Glanymor and Tyisha.

The aim was to promote home security and encourage residents/tenants to mark their property with the UV pens that we were handing out so that should their property become lost or stolen, it could be identified if recovered by the police.

Even a class from Copperworks School came for advice and a pen to mark school property.

We handed out 80 pens and home security advice leaflets. Job well done I think!

Thank you to Communities First for funding of the campaign and Thank You to everyone who helped to make it a success.







Walk to School Events

The Safer Communities Action Group have been lending their high visibilty vests and walking rings to Copperworks School throughout the month of June, as during this month, they are running a series of Walk to School Events to help promote Healthy lifestyles.

Volunteers from the group have also been going along to reinforce road safety.

June 15th - 19th is Walk to School Week in Glanymor and Tyisha and Every Primary school within the two wards will be holding one of these events and using the vests and rings.

This week has come about as an Action from a previous Safer Communities Action Group meeting.
