Police meeting in the North scrapped after low turnout
A Belfast District Policing Partnership meeting was cancelled after only two of its nine members turned up, an SDLP councillor said today.
Pat Convery said the south Belfast sub group meeting was the first of its kind to be postponed due to insufficient turnout.
The Deputy Lord Mayor of Belfast said the holiday period was mainly to blame for the failure to meet the quota of three members which would have allowed the public meeting to go ahead.
One member was unable to attend due to work commitments while another experienced transport problems en route to last night’s event at the Sandy Row Community Centre.
Mr Convery, who sits on the north and west Belfast sub groups, said: “It is disappointing that the public has been inconvenienced. The meeting will be rescheduled and re-advertised at the earliest opportunity.”
