Work of the Weavers Community Action Group

The Weavers Community Action Group (WCAG) is made up of local residents, representatives of residents’ groups and business owners living and working in the Weavers Ward who are concerned with the escalating problem of drug dealing, use and drug-related anti-social behaviour on our streets and in or near our homes.

As this is an important issue for local residents, the CTRA has taken an active role within the WCAG since it’s creation in April 2018.

Anyone wishing to join the Weavers Community Action Group or simply attend a meeting should email northweavers@gmail.com to receive information. A leaflet about the Group can be downloaded here.

On this page we will post news on activities of the WCAG.
