Louth County Council is inviting residents across the county to take part in a new Community-Led Property Marking Programme, aimed at reducing theft and improving community safety.
The initiative will see local volunteers receive training in the use of specialist property marking equipment. Once trained, volunteers will assist neighbours, businesses, and local groups in marking valuable items such as machinery, bikes, tractors and lawnmowers with a unique identifier, typically the property owner’s Eircode.
The purpose of the programme is to deter theft, help Gardaí trace stolen goods, and promote a stronger sense of safety and cooperation in communities throughout Louth.
Community Safety Coordinator at Louth County Council Therese McArdle is on the line with us now to tell us more about this.
