VITA DIFFICILE PER IL DISTRICT POLICING PARTNERSHIP

A rischio alcuni meetings del District Policing Partnership

Il DPP si trova a dover fare i conti con le conseguenze derivanti dalle proteste dissidenti che ne hanno caratterizzato i recenti meetings.
Il Tower Hotel di Derry si è rifiutato di ospitare un incontro del District Policing Partnership (sarebbe stata la seconda volta), perchè in dovere di tutelare l’incolumità dei propri dipendenti e ospiti.
Problemi anche a Ballymoney, dove una riunione del DPP è stata annullata a causa di un allarme bomba.
L’evento avrebbe dovuto tenersi questa sera alle ore 19.00 presso il centro comunitario di Mosside. Nessuna rivendicazione è giunta per l’allarme scattato alle 18, a cui hanno fatto seguito ispezioni negli edifici circostanti.

Derry hotel refuses to host policing partnership meeting (Evenign Echo)
A Derry hotel has declined to host a meeting of the local policing partnership after two previous events were disrupted by dissident republicans.
A meeting at one hotel had to be abandoned in July when dissident republicans forced their way in, blowing whistles and throwing stink bombs.
Last week another meeting at a second hotel in Derry had to be abandoned after it was also disrupted.
The Tower Hotel, which had been asked to host a meeting for the second time, said it had to consider the safety of staff and residents.
Bomb scare halts policing meeting (BBC News Northern Ireland)
A bomb warning has led to the cancellation of a District Policing Partnership meeting in Ballymoney.
The meeting was due to begin at 1900 GMT on Tuesday at a community centre in Mosside, on the outskirts of the town.
No organisation was mentioned in the bomb warning which was received at 1815 GMT. The area was cordoned off and a controlled explosion was carried out.
Moyle DPP chairman Oliver McMullan of Sinn Fein said he believed loyalist paramilitaries were responsible.
“I am very disappointed as I have been looking forward to giving the people of Mosside the opportunity to engage with the DPP at a public meeting for the first time,” he said.
“This would have allowed the community to feed their concerns and opinions into the Area Policing Plan, as other local communities have done before.
“We will not be deterred by the actions of those who have no support or mandate and will rearrange the meeting at the earliest opportunity.”
District Policing Partnership meetings have been often disrupted in the past. Last week, dissident republicans forced their way into a meeting in a Londonderry hotel, blowing whistles and throwing stink bombs.
The partnerships were set up in 2002 under reforms resulting from the Patten Report.
The partnerships fall under the auspices of the Policing Board, which holds the PSNI as a whole to account.
They are made up of councillors and members of the local community, who work alongside police District Command Units in trying to meet policing needs.
