Its an area of the city infamous for prostitution and drug use.
Common Councillor Donnie Snook believes the time is right, as part of a poverty reduction strategy, to set up a community policing office in the Waterloo Street area which has become known as the Village.
The final say will be made by the Police Commission which will mull over the request.
Snook maintains the cost could be minimal.
