SDLP South Belfast MLA Conall McDevitt has welcomed the launch of the Holyland CCTV scheme and has urged young people in the area to respect their neighbours and this city particularly on St Patricks Day.
He said: “I am very happy to see the CCTV in operation in the Holyland area. It will provide a necessary deterrent to anyone looking to cause trouble this coming St Patrick’s Day.
“It will also help the community at large and the police to combat the rise in crime, some of which has been violent, in this part of the city.
“We also need a long term plan to tackle the breakdown in relationships in the area and make sure the Holyland has a future as a sustainable welcoming place for all sections of our community to live.
“I am calling for an all party approach to the reconstruction of this community and for a long term commitment from MLAs and councillors to tackle the big issues as well as managing the crisis.”
