ACTIVITIES OF THE DPP Antrim DPP has developed a number of initiatives, through a partnership approach, in order to meet its aims. One of these was to bring a hard hitting, informative Road Safety Roadshow to Antrim in February 2008 in order to help educate young drivers, and some not so young drivers, in the dangers of speeding and careless driving. Over 600 young people aged 16 to 21 years of age attended two shows. The DPP is currently developing iniatives to address burglary and anti social behaviour. NEXT PUBLIC MEETING Do you have a hearing impairment? Antrim DPP provides a hearing induction loop for all those using a hearing aid to enable them to participate in DPP Public meetings. If you are deaf then the DPP can provide signing facilities as well, please contact the DPP Manager for more information. In order to give everyone who lives or works in the Antrim Borough, of all ages, the opportunity to have a real say in how local policing is provided, Antrim DPP organise open, public meetings, and invite the senior police officers to explain how the police are performing against the targets set and agreed with the DPP Members. The purpose of these meetings is to provide a public forum for you the community to discuss issues of concern and to ask questions of the police as to how they propose to address these issues. You are invited to the next DPP Public Information Meeting on Tuesday 27th May at 7pm in Templepatrick Primary School, Lylehill Road, Templepatrick. This event is free and is your opportunity to discuss local policing issues that affect anywhere in the Antrim Borough with the local police. Refreshements will be served after the meeting at approximately 9pm. For more information contact the DPP Manager. E.DPP@antrim.gov.uk T. 028 9446 3113 ext 1348 or Textphone 028 9448 1343.
