Creating a safer Cardiff: A community safety city update A targeted approach to clamping down on anti-social behaviour

A targeted approach to clamping down on anti-social behaviour and crime problem areas - part of a wealth of community safety interventions taking place across the city, is reaping benefits.

A multi-agency Problem Solving Group, comprising more than 30 organisations including the Council, Police, South Wales Fire and Rescue Service and Cardiff Third Sector Council, is successfully steering a co-ordinated response to various issues in a number of hotspots by addressing anti-social behaviour, vandalism and criminal behaviour.

The pilot project, that has focussed on areas in Llanrumney and Splott, has seen reported incidents plummet following the introduction of diversionary and community safety measures, as well as improved community engagement.

Cardiff Council votes to declare city-wide nature emergency

At last night's meeting of Cardiff's Full Council, votes were cast which resulted in a declaration of a nature emergency in the capital city.

The emergency declaration was put forward in a motion tabled by the Council's Labour group, with two separate amendments from the Liberal Democrat group and the Conservative group.

It comes after the Council's decision to declare a climate emergency in 2019, and the public carbon-neutral commitment made in October this year, set out in the  One Planet Strategy which was approved by Cabinet.
