Mayo town CCTV Committee invites public to launch meeting
The meeting will help participants to learn more about the proposed CCTV system and how to support the community fundraising campaign.
The Foxford CCTV Committee is inviting members of the public to attend its official launch night and public meeting on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, at 7pm in The Moy Hotel, Foxford.
The initiative has been established by members of the local community in response to concerns surrounding crime, anti-social behaviour and the need for additional security measures within the town.
The proposed CCTV system aims to support An Garda Síochána in their investigations, provide reassurance to residents and businesses, and contribute to a safer environment for everyone living in, working in or visiting Foxford.
The committee hopes to develop the initiative in phases, beginning with the town centre before exploring opportunities to extend coverage into surrounding areas.
The upcoming meeting will provide an opportunity for the committee to introduce the project, outline its objectives, explain how the proposed CCTV system will operate and discuss the funding required to bring the initiative to fruition.
The committee will also provide information on how local residents and businesses can support the project through its community fundraising campaign.
Speaking ahead of the launch, a spokesperson for the Foxford CCTV Committee said: "Foxford is a wonderful community, and we all have a shared interest in keeping it a safe place to live, work and visit. This initiative is about coming together as a community and taking a proactive approach to supporting the safety and security of our town. We would encourage everyone from Foxford and the surrounding areas to come along on the evening, learn more about the project and share their thoughts. The success of this initiative will depend on the financial support of our community, and we would be very grateful to have as many people as possible involved."
The committee is also extending an invitation to local public representatives and members of the business community to attend the launch and learn more about the initiative.
