Success of Strathaven police's fun days for youngsters

Jul 31 2008 by Sandra Walls, Hamilton Advertiser

A PROJECT launched by Strathaven Community Police has been hailed a “great success.”

The Strathaven Youth Diversity Project, which was the brainchild of the town’s new community police officers Maryann Bolton and David Robson, organised three fun days this month for local youngsters.

PC Colin Strachan was kitted out for the climbing wall, and successfully beat colleague PC David Robson to the top of the climbing wall and back down again.

Children enjoyed the range of activities also offered on the digibus.
