The Fairwater partnerships and communities together (PACT) meeting was postponed last night after the Pentrebane community centre couldn't be opened – see why the PACT meeting couldn't go ahead in my comment on this post here.
Updates from the last meeting were, however, handed out, and I've summarised them for those who didn't receive a handout below.
The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 15 September – but residents should check back to ourbobby.com or email frontline support officer Cathy Mangles on catherine.mangles@south-wales.pnn.police.uk
Anti-social behaviour
Anti-social behaviour reported around Waterhall Park and surrounding areas became a project for the police after the last PACT meeting. Police have been targeting these areas over the last six weeks and will give a full update on their progress at the next meeting.
Overall, the average number of anti-social behaviour incidents in the Fairwater area has decreased from 152 in the months May-July in 2009 to 107.3 in 2010 for the same months. This is a decrease of by 27.4%.
A more recent update of statistics from the police shows from 1 July to 18 August 2010, no incidents of rowdiness, nuisance, environmental damage or litter have been recorded. Four incidents of street drinking were recorded for the same period, and three incidents of noise.
Update from councillors
In an update from local councillors for Fairwater – Neil McEvoy, Lisa Ford and Keith Parry – it was reported the period since the last PACT meeting was "the quietest since being elected."
The councillors reported an upgrade of paths and road at Cherwell Close, and resurfacing is due to take place shortly on Gorse Place, after the footpath is completed. Play equipment at Glan Ely Close is also being upgraded.
The Fairwater fete raised more that £500 for Bobath Cymru and the Fairwater Walk For Life was also successful in raising money for Kidney Wales.
Councillor surgeries take place at Pentrebane Community Centre each Wednesday at 12pm and at Fairwater Library every Saturday from 11am.
