DPP Chair, Councillor Pam Lewis commented: “Antrim DPP is delighted to be working with Greenmount College at the Student Health and Information Fair. We will be able to listen to the views of local students and then discuss with the police how these issues can be addressed, where possible”.
Pam continued: “This initiative is one element of the engagement strategy of Antrim DPP which also includes face to face engagement by DPP Members with the community or through postal questionnaires, focus groups and consultation via the website. This is the first opportunity for us to discuss issues which affect our young people and we will be consulting with other schools and colleges over a period of time.”
