Stewartstown Road antisocial behaviour a result of cuts to services say youth workers

Youth workers have said that recent antisocial behaviour in the Colin area of West Belfast is a result of cuts to funding for youth providers.

The PSNI was called to Páirc Nua Chollann on the Stewartstown Road on Monday night after reports of youths throwing stones at cars. Equipment within the park was later set alight.

Colm Fanning from the Lagmore Youth Project told Belfast Live that when he arrived on the scene, many young people were enjoying the facilities and not participating in the disorder.
