Creating Safer Neighbourhoods in Torfaen
Six social landlords and Torfaen County Borough Council have developed a protocol with Gwent Police to create safer neighbourhoods in Torfaen. Seren Group together with Bron Afon Community Housing, Hafod Housing, Linc Cymru, Melin Homes and Torfaen County Borough Council will work closely with Police to tackle a range of anti-social issues. The result will improve communications and partnership working.
The initiative will include information sharing and evidence gathering to enable landlords to enforce tenancy agreements more effectively. High profile activities, such as joint community walkabouts, will build trust and relationships with residents, offering them reassurance that community safety is a priority. This trust is vital as residents are often called upon to provide evidence in anti-social behaviour cases.
