Action on ASB

Melin Homes staff joined officers and young cadets from Gwent Police to help Newport residents learn more about dealing with anti-social behaviour.

The Action on Anti-social behaviour event brought together a number of partner agencies including, Waste Savers, Street Scene, South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, Communities First, Newport City Council, Newport City Homes, Charter Housing. The aim was to join together to tackle local concerns and issues.

Residents of Somerton and Lliswerry learned more about how the relevant agencies can help them deal with anti-social behaviour and arson, how to report it and who to.

Melin’s Community Safety Team was on hand to support our residents and our Communities Team took the bus up to Lime Crescent where a number of residents came to speak to us about issues relating to the site. Thanks to working closely with Gwent Police, South Wales Fire and Rescue and Newport City Council several of those issues are now being resolved.

We will be back to the area soon to bring a bit of Melin magic, a bouncy castle for the youngsters and some litter picking equipment so that we can all get involved in boosting the community spirit.

PC Nicola Donovan who was involved in organising the event said: “I’d like to say a big thanks to all those who supported us especially the Cadets for giving up their free time. Our message is that no-one should be suffering from anti-social behaviour in silence. Please contact us with any concerns and we can work together to help and offer advice.”

If you would like to report anti-social behaviour, please call 101 or in an emergency, dial 999.
