The 27 th July saw 5 vehicle seizures for document offences and 3 fixed penalty notices given to drivers for a range of offences. The team hit some of the areas which have received a high number of complaints from residents regarding speeding and erratic driving. The team attended Birchgrove and Bonymaen on this occasion, and throughout the time which they were there did not witness any offences taking place. Deputy Sheriff Scheme Officers have been attending at all of the schools in the area, delivering the Deputy Sheriff Scheme. Deputy Sheriffs are local school children who look after their school; they are the eyes and ears of their school and report anything they think is suspicious to an appropriate adult/teacher. They are not encouraged to challenge people, just merely report incidents which they feel are suspicious. The scheme is an initiative which was started by the Bonymaen Neighbourhood Policing Team, as a result of thousands of pounds worth of damage caused to local schools. Cwm Primary School in Bonymaen suffered over £14,000 worth of damage over a six week period. Deputy Sheriff’s scheme was the introduced prior to the Christmas break, and there were no incidents of note at the school during the time. Schools throughout the Eastside Sector have now received the lesson on Deputy Sheriff, and the Year 5 and 6 children are now sworn in Deputy Sheriff’s! The emphasis has been placed on all of the children not to put themselves in a dangerous position and to ensure that they tell an appropriate adult of any incidents which they feel are suspicious. All of the children have received certificates, badges and hats for their Deputy Sheriff role. KEEPING SOUTH WALES SAFE Port Tennant Spring Clean Twenty-two fifth year pupils from Danygraig Primary School, helped the ‘Communities First Port Tennant’ Team and ‘Keep Wales Tidy’ in a ‘Community Spring Clean’ event on Friday 2nd July. Targeted areas in Port Tennant that were in need of weeding, cutting back and litter picking were cleaned up in one day. Many partners were involved in the organisation and the work that was carried out on the day including Communities First, Keep Wales Tidy, Tidy Towns, GSP, Cllr Alan Robinson, The Police, CCS Highways Department, CCS Smoking Enforcement Team, Countryside Council for Wales and Danygraig Primary School. The pupils of the school were very enthusiastic about the day and behaved impeccably. The team enjoyed good weather for the ‘Port Tennant Spring Clean’ which saw overgrowth being cut back in four areas and litter picking in seven. Pupils collected over nine bags containing recyclable materials such as plastic bottles, crisp packets, papers and cans. Port Tennant Carnival The annual GSP Eastside Carnival was held this year on Saturday 17th July. The weather was warm and sunny with lots of lovely bunting decorating Danygraig Road houses and local residents lining the parade route from Wern Terrace, along Danygraig Road, and up St Illtyds Crescent to Jersey Park. Peppa Pig led the parade which was very popular with local children judging by the amount of screaming and jumping up and down that was done! Jersey Park was the final destination and featured bouncy castles; fairground rides and games; charity stalls; information stands by Communities First, St Thomas Police, Childline, and the Samaritans; as well as displays in the main arena by the Eastside band, belly dancers, Choi Kwan Do, and the Fahrenheit street dancing group. As always it was an enjoyable day out with plenty of community spirit on show. St Thomas Police is now looking forward to next year KEEPING SOUTH WALES SAFE Great Guns at Mount Zion Garden Project Cefn Hengoed pupils and the congregation at Mount Zion have been have been pressing on with the garden project. Brambles have been cut down, rubbish cleared, beds dug, paths laid, a compost heap begun. The first crops are growing and all being well, next year’s students on the Welsh Baccalaureate Programme will be able to harvest them. Interest and support from neighbours is growing, residents are ‘keeping an eye’ when nobody is on site, a local craftsman volunteered his services, made and fixed a gate. We’d like to thank PCSO Steve Lewis who told us that Wyevale Garden Centre had some flowerpots and some crockery to give away. Well, the pots are in use already holding plants waiting to go into the next stage of the garden and the crockery’s standing by for those all important breaks in the heavy digging, thanks to the good people at Wyevale too, of course! The Minister, Rev Chris Lewis said, “It’s most rewarding. The students have done themselves credit, and they’ve got the blisters to prove it. We’re glad of the support we’re getting from local people and we hope that this garden will one day, be something many more people can enjoy.” KEEPING SOUTH WALES SAFE Operation Vacation It has come to the time of year again, when schools in the area have broken up for their summer holidays so between Thursday 15th July 2010 and Sunday 12th September 2010 , Neighborhood Policing Teams (NPTs) in company with Response shifts, specialist departments and partner agencies will commence high visibility patrols within the Eastside Sector, focusing on known ‘hot-spot’ areas where anti-social behaviour is known to take place. Each area within Eastside has its own known anti-social behaviour problems and each patch has a different type of area where this behaviour takes place. During the specified period there will be dedicated officers from the Neighbourhood teams to answer all anti-social behaviour calls across the sector. Patrols will be conducted on foot aswell as in vehicles, both plain and marked in an attempt to reduce the number of incidents.
