Tenby Town Council have agreed to compile a list highlighting examples of anti-social behaviour that have occurred in the town over the last few months. This follows news that the House of Commons Welsh Affairs Committee is to conduct an inquiry into the police service, crime and anti-social behaviour in Wales. The inquiry, which is due to take place next month, will be looking to address strategies to deal with crime and anti-social behaviour, performance, as well as drawing comparisons with other forces, use and availabilty of resources, and Local Government and National Assembly for Wales strategies. Clr. John Griffiths, a former chief superintendent with the Royal Hong Kong Police Force, told fellow members at Tuesday night's meeting of the town council, that he thought the inquiry would be an ideal opportunity to submit written evidence to a higher authority. "Over the last few months we have discussed and listed a number of examples of anti-social behaviour in our town, and have spoken in great depth about how unhappy we are about the policing of the area, and how the situation is being dealt with," he said. "This is an ideal opportunity to take our grievances and complaints to a higher authority in the hope that they will looked closely into the matter," he added. The town's Mayor, Clr. Mrs. Sue Lane also urged anyone else in the town with their own examples of anti-social incidents to submit written evidence to the Welsh Affiars Committee. Further guidance on the submission of evidence can be found on the website address http://www.parliament.uk/commons/selcom/witguide.htm">www.parliament.uk/commons/selcom/witguide.htm or sent directly on disk or e-mail by no later than Monday, October 11, to [email protected]">[email protected]
