SNT ward meeting
AMENDMENT: I was trying to be informative, but I was misinformed (or possibly just incompetent)! The meeting is tonight at 7pm, but at the Devas Club on Stormont Road, although I don’t have a nice image of that.

Crime mapping and reassurance
It is a while since I droned on about crime mapping, but came across an interesting blog by a PhD student (who happens to be a retired police officer). The site has a fairly lengthy post (actually a republishing of a paper) covering some of the problems with mapping, as well as some potential future
