G Tackling anti-social behaviour
Castell Mynydd would work in
partnership with the Council, the Police,
the Fire Service, local communities and
the voluntary sector to help prevent antisocial
behaviour in your area.
Castell Mynydd would take measures to
address residents’ concerns by introducing a
confidential, anti-social behaviour, Freephone
telephone number where you can report antisocial
behaviour.
The anti-social behaviour service would:
• Deal with complaints of anti-social
behaviour and harassment in a firm but fair
manner.
• Enforce the terms of the tenancy or lease
agreement.
• Provide support to victims and tenants
reporting anti-social behaviour and provide
a dedicated witness support scheme if
they are required to give evidence in court.
• Work with the community warden service
to help prevent and tackle anti-social
behaviour in communities.
• Develop and build upon existing expertise
in dealing with anti-social behaviour and
harassment and collate evidence to help
ensure successful court action.
• Share information and intelligence with the
Police, the Fire Service and other related
services to tackle the perpetrators of antisocial
behaviour.
• Work with tenants, local residents, the
Council, Police, Fire Service, Community
Partnerships and other voluntary sector
bodies to identify local solutions to local
problems.
• Utilise the full range of legal powers to
address anti-social behaviour or, through
multi agency working, the legal powers
of partner organisations to provide a
resolution.
To enable the anti-social behaviour service
to be strengthened, Castell Mynydd would
budget an additional £50,000 per annum over
the life of its 30 year Business Plan as part of
its investment programme.
Castell Mynydd would actively explore new
opportunities to prevent and design out
crime on all new environmental and physical
improvement projects.
Within its investment programme, Castell
Mynydd would budget £50,000 each year for
the first five years after transfer for community
safety initiatives within its total budget of
£11 million for environmental improvements.
