Plymouth bomb: MP says people may need support after disruption

An MP in Plymouth has called for support for residents who may be affected by the disruption caused by a bomb scare in the city.

Following the discovery of a suspicious device in a residential area, residents were evacuated from their homes and roads were closed off as bomb disposal experts worked to safely remove the device.

While the situation has now been resolved and residents have been allowed to return to their homes, the MP has emphasized the need for ongoing support for those who may have been traumatized by the ordeal.

“Events like this can be incredibly stressful and upsetting for those involved, and it’s important that we are proactive in providing support for anyone who may be struggling in the aftermath,” the MP said.

Local mental health services have been mobilized to provide assistance to those who may need it, and the MP has urged residents to reach out if they are feeling overwhelmed or anxious.

The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of community support in times of crisis, and the MP has pledged to work with local authorities to ensure that residents have the resources they need to recover from the disruption.
