Stay safe this Christmas
Published: Thursday 19 December 2024

Christmas party season is well underway across South Lanarkshire.
And of course, everyone wants to be able to go out and enjoy themselves in local restaurants, pubs and clubs and most importantly, return home safely at the end of their night.
Chair of the council’s Housing and Technical Resources Committee, Councillor Davie McLachlan, said: “Personal safety is always a focus for emergency services and South Lanarkshire Council’s Community Wardens and they will be working together over the festive period to keep revellers safe.
“Our teams will be patrolling town centres and hospitality hotspots in our mobile CCTV vans over the festive period to support vulnerable individuals and provide extra reassurance to those enjoying a night out.
“If you think someone looks vulnerable and needs assistance, or if you notice someone acting suspiciously, report this immediately to hospitality staff, Police or the Community Wardens. Please stay safe at Christmas.”
