A new campaign aims to create a safer, crime-free Cork city with the support of people living across Leeside.
The Cork City Local Community Safety Partnership has been launched to address local safety concerns and strengthen the sense of security within communities throughout the city.
Members of the public are encouraged to share their experiences, priorities, and ideas around community safety. This feedback will play a direct role in shaping the actions and priorities set out in the final plan.
Anti-social behaviour remains an ongoing issue, but those involved in the initiative believe that a collective effort can help make Cork a more attractive and safer place to visit, work, and live.
Speaking at the launch, Chairperson Cllr Terry Shannon highlighted the importance of the initiative:
“This is a milestone moment for Cork.
The Local Safety Plan will shape how we work together to build a safer, more inclusive city for everyone. The voices of our residents and communities are essential in this process.”
Chief Superintendent Colm Noonan of An Garda Síochána added:
“Community safety is about more than policing. It’s about wellbeing, belonging, and ensuring every person feels safe where they live, work, and spend time.
This plan will only succeed if it reflects the lived experiences of the people of Cork City.”
Public consultation is now open.
Residents are invited to contribute their views, which will directly influence the final plan.
