Current priorities
Drugs & Related Issues
Through a tailored balance between enforcement and engagement, we’re tackling the supply of illegal drugs in your area. The team will proactively patrol hotspot areas, providing a visible deterrent against offending. Officers will continue to conduct both plain clothes and high visibility patrols across the ward to target anti-social behaviour and drug use.
Set: 2026-05-01
Speeding
We will be tackling speeding in the area by working with partner agencies such as GoSafe and South Wales Fire & Rescue Service through a mix of enforcement and education.
Set: 2026-05-01
Rubbish and litter
We will be tackling rubbish/litter in the area using a multi-agency approach. We will be conducting regular patrols with partner agencies to reduce rubbish in the area and to identify the hotspots.
