We did
Anti Social Driving in the late evenings

In co-operation with the Rathfriland Regeneration Group, Driving Change Project, REACT and other we established a young drivers group who received various eduational and awareness workshops over a number of months. These provided focus for the young people on the impact of AS Driving and as a consequence reports about AS Driving in the late evening has significantly reduced. This group still continues to meet and is currently mananaged by the Rathfriland Regeneration Group.  If you would like to attend the weekly meeting or to discuss topical issues please feel free to contact the Neighbourhood Team for further details.
