PSNI Working To Ensure People's Safety On St Patrick's Day
The PSNI in Derry City & Strabane have been working alongside the District Council in the run-up to St Patrick's Day to ensure everyone attending has a safe and enjoyable day.
Superintendent Willy Calderwood says officers will have a visible presence on the ground throughout the day working to keep people safe.
"We saw thousands of people, enjoying events in the City and District last year and we're expecting as many people this year,” said Superintendent Calderwood.
"We want people to enjoy themselves in a safe and respectful manner. We ask that you follow the advice and direction of stewards, and our officers who are here to help. If you're staying on after the Council celebrations are over, please drink responsibly and make sure you get home safely using public transport, a taxi or a designated driver. Our officers will continue to be on duty, working to keep you safe."
Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Councillor Sandra Duffy said: "St. Patrick's Day and our Spring Carnival parade is one of the biggest days in our calendar of events. We've been working hard to make sure everyone involved in festivities across the District, and our visitors, will enjoy a good time while they're here. The celebrations are for people of all ages to enjoy and we ask all of you to do so, safely and respectfully. Find our more here www.derrystrabane.com/springcarnival."
