Environmental crime in Pembrokeshire is to be targeted with the help of £50,000 from the Welsh Assembly Government. The funding will provide the Pembrokeshire Community Safety Partnership with the means to respond to, investigate and deal with incidents of fly-tipping and littering in remote areas, particularly around the Pembrokeshire coastline. The project will focus on deterring anti-social behaviour as well as removing signs of damage and neglect to create and maintain a clean safe environment that can be enjoyed by visitors and local residents alike.  Environment Minister Carwyn Jones said: "Litter and rubbish spoil any local landscape, but in an area such as the Pembrokeshire coast, it can also cause serious environmental damage and have a negative impact on tourism. This funding will help to support efforts to protect one of Wales' most beautiful areas." The Community Safety Partnership includes Pembrokeshire National Park, Dyfed Powys Police and Pembrokeshire County Council. Steve Brick, senior ranger with the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, said: "The grant will provide the partner agencies in Pembrokeshire with specialist equipment which will provide a highly visible deterrent together with the means to respond to and investigate incidents of environmental crime in previously difficult to reach locations both inland and around the coastline and estuaries." The Welsh Assembly Government has committed £303,500 to similar projects across the country aimed at improving the quality of local environments by tackling littering, graffiti and fly- tipping as part of its strategy to manage wider environmental issues.
