A proposed public meeting that had been set up to discuss the Asian Community Centre under construction in Carnon Downs has been cancelled.

The meeting, which had been organised for next Thursday, June 12, had been due to include representatives from Carrick district council, police and the owner of the former Quenchwell Chapel that is being turned into the centre.

However, following discussion between the parties - with the prevention and detection of any further crime in mind and so as not to prejudice the investigation regarding a recent arrest - it has been decided to cancel the meeting.

They have apologised to anyone who has been inconvenienced by the decision.

Councillor Tomas Hill, Carrick councillor for the Feock and Kea ward, will still represent his constituents by canvassing their views and addressing any of their concerns through a mail drop.
