PENSIONERS from an Eston senior citizen's centre have been supplied with attack alarms.

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council has provided 50 alarms for the group, at the Birkdale Drive Community Centre.

Centre treasurer, Ray Johnston, 75, said: "I hope we never have to use them, but it's good to feel safe."

Councillor Dave McLuckie, lead member for community safety, who distributed the alarms yesterday, said: "Every person in our community deserves to feel safe. I am pleased to support this initiative."
