The Proposal

The joint security initiative proposes:

  • There will be a single security company for Greenside and Emmarentia selected by a competitive tender process.
  • A Section 21 company will be established to manage the security.
  • The security company will be proactive in fighting crime through co-ordination of patrol vehicles, motor bikes, foot patrols etc.
  • All guards will have two way radios on the same frequency.
  • The security company will be held accountable for services.
  • The community will be involved.
  • The security company will work with the police and council.

The security committee has been established and is answerable to the Emmarentia and Greenside Residents' Associations.

A number of meetings have been held since April. Minutes of these meetings are available on the website. Emmarentia and Greenside residents have been addressed at general meetings.
