Slieve Gullion Councillor Declan Murphy has said that he shares the anger of the local Bessbrook community after the ‘Busy Bus’ service was withdrawn from the area following incidents which saw a window smashed one day and the bus attacked another. The attacks saw the Busy Bus service pulled out of Bessbrook for a time.
Cllr Murphy said "There is huge anger locally that this essential service has been withdrawn as a consequence of the actions of a group of young vandals who seem to be hell bent on causing trouble in the area”.
Citing the need for a multi-agency approach the public representative said “At a meeting with the PSNI yesterday, I asked for a multi-agency approach to the criminal activity that has been going on for a considerable amount of time by the same group of people.
"This will include holding their parents to account as the level of neglect is a determining factor.
"People need to feel safe in their homes; going to and coming from work and; using public transport. All agencies need to play their part before someone is seriously hurt”.
