PACT Meeting Update
On 21st May we had the follow up meeting of the PACT panel to discuss the issues that were raised at the meeting on 28th April 2008.
Having reviewed the information gathered at the meeting we were able to make the following decisions:
1) Due to the fact that a number of locations were identified as suffering from similar problems a small working party has been established which includes the Police and the County Council, with the aim of producing an action plan to address anti social behaviour across the area. It was identified that issues such as criminal damage, rowdy/nuisance behaviour, underage drinking and vandalism all fall under the banner of anti social behaviour. The Police will of course enforce the law in the short term but it is hoped that this working party can provide a multi-agency approach to providing long-term solutions and initiatives.

2) The panel will keep speeding and related problems as a priority area. The police will continue to conduct random speed checks at locations across the area, and the use of the 'speed aware' signs (temporary flashing signs notifying drivers of their speed) will continue to be utilised across the area. Also under this area the issue of 'Street Racers' will be addressed. The Police will look to enforce Road Traffic legislation and undertake specific operations aimed at enforcement but also educating the perpetrators about the danger they cause to themselves and others. The panel will also be working together looking at long-term solutions.
The relevant partners will address the remaining issues that were raised including lighting, parking and road markings as soon as possible.
We would like to thank everyone who attended the meeting.
