A problem-solving plan has been put in place to address the issues at Mayhill Park. We have identified issues with youths who frequent the park as well as youths outside the near Mayhill Medial Centre. Patrols have been increased in the area and a number of anti-social behaviour referrals have been issued to those who have been involved in inappropriate behaviour. Graffiti has been removed to not encourage further incidents and we will continue to both patrol the area, work with our partners and update residents of the actions being taken on South Wales Listens.

Police have been made aware of areas where persons are frequenting to sell / purchase controlled drugs. We are acting on this information and continue to patrol public spaces where persons are said to frequent for such activities. We have previously had hedges cut back in the lane linked to ISLWYN ROAD due to similar reports and conducted frequent patrols which previously resulted in an arrest. In regards to residential premises where suspected drug dealing takes place, we frequently liaise with our partners in housing to look to share intelligence and take action where possible. We also encourage the reporting of issues around drug dealing to the local neighbourhood policing team so they have an accurate picture of the situation locally and can utilise intelligence to take action.
