Not everyone loves little monsters Some people would like to have a quiet night this Halloween. Police will take action against anyone committing acts of anti-social behaviour. We want to ensure this Halloween is one that everyone can enjoy. GOOD NEWS! YOU SAID / WE DID: Tower Gardens is a large estate in Prestatyn. In April Prestatyn Safer Neighbourhood Team was made aware of some anti-social behaviour on the estate which involved bulling on the local park. Local PCSO Laura Bruce applied for PACT funding and following a successful bid, arranged for the Bus Project to attend the park on Ffordd Idwal during the summer holidays. The Bus Project is a mobile community development project run by Gr w^ p Cynefin. They provided free educational and fun sessions to the local community on topics such as anti-bulling, respect your neighbour and anti-social behaviour and citizenship. The feedback from the project was fantastic and on the very last session, there were too many children to fit onto the bus so they had to play on the field. Due to the success of the project, PCSO Barry Williams has now arranged for it to visit the South West Ward in Prestatyn. #YouSaidWeDid By directing your queries Your Safer Neighbourhood Team to the correct people, it You can contact any of the officers individually via will enable all agencies to the control room on 101.

  • Denbighshire
    1 Town Tree Cover in Denbighshire Understanding canopy cover to better plan and manage our urban trees 2 Foreword Introducing a world-first for Wales is a great pleasure, particularly as it relates to greater knowledge about the hugely valuable woodland and tree resource in our towns and cities. We are the first country in the world to have undertaken a country-wide urban canopy cover survey. The resulting evidence base set out in this supplementary county specific study for Denbighshire will help all of us - from community tree interest groups to urban planners and decision-makers in local authorities and our Emyr Roberts Diane McCrea national government - to understand what we need to do to safeguard this powerful and versatile natural asset. Trees are an essential component of our urban ecosystems, delivering a range of services to help sustain life, promote well-being, and support economic benefits. They make our towns and cities more attractive to live in - encouraging inward investment, improving the energy efficiency of buildings – as well as removing air borne pollutants and connecting people with nature. They can also mitigate the extremes of climate change, helping to reduce storm water run-off and the urban heat island. Natural Resources Wales is committed to working with colleagues in the Welsh Government and in public, third and private sector organisations throughout Wales, to build on this work and promote a strategic approach to managing our existing urban trees, and to planting more where they will deliver the greatest

In January 2009, the Local Government Minister, Dr Brian Gibbons asked this Commission to review the electoral arrangements in each principal local authority in Wales. Dr Gibbons said: “Conducting regular reviews of the electoral arrangements in each Council in Wales is part of the Commission’s remit. The aim is to try and restore a fairly even spread of councillors across the local population. It is not about local government reorganisation. Since the last reviews were conducted new communities have been created in some areas and there have been shifts in population in others. This means that in some areas there is now an imbalance in the number of electors that councillors represent.
