NPT Waste Crime | Aberavon Public Space Protection Orders come into force on 1st May 2024.👇

Dog walkers are reminded that the two Public Space Protection Orders (PSPO's) excluding dogs from the restricted area of Aberavon Beach and that dogs must be kept on a lead on the Promenade come into force on the 1st May, 2024 and ends on 30th September, 2024.

Breach of these PSPO's is an offence which can be dealt with through the issue of a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) of £75. Failure to pay a Fixed Penalty Notice can lead to prosecution and a court fine of up to £1000.

Officers have attended Aberavon Beach today to advise dog walkers of the up coming PSPO's and what areas will be restricted.

Dogs are will still be allowed to be taken on the part of beach near Scarlett Avenue and right to the sand dunes, which can be accessed via the last set of steps on the promenade along with the small beach in front of Mariners Quay.

Councillor Stephanie Grimshaw for Aberavon and Baglan Moors | I've just met with the Council regarding the constant closure of the Port Talbot bus station toilets.👇

There are a lot of issues and challenges that are feeding into this, namely consistent anti-social behaviour and damage to the toilets, leaving it unsafe for the public to use.

We have looked at a number of solutions including CCTV, security and increased police attendance.

As soon as I have an update I will inform residents on what Neath Port Talbot Council are doing to provide a long term solution to these issues.

Swansea Bay NHS | A project that includes growing crops on land near Morriston Hospital has been labelled a leading example for others to follow.👇

Future Generations Commissioner Derek Walker made a special visit to Cae Felin Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) to see how the project operates.

He was given an insight into the CSA’s work across its seven-acre site, on land which is owned by Swansea Bay UHB, and met volunteers and directors to hear of its future plans.

The CSA, a not-for-profit organisation, is independently run but supported by the health board as part of its wider commitment to a more sustainable future.

It has grown fruit and vegetables, which have been distributed to low income and deprived areas, and is selling food boxes with the money being reinvested in the project.

The CSA’s long-term goal is to provide produce for patient meals at Morriston Hospital.

Mr Walker has been hugely impressed by the early success of the CSA, and wishes to see more organisations follow suit.

He said: “As Commissioner, my role is to be the guardian of future generations. This means helping public bodies and those who make policy in Wales to think about the long-term impact their decisions have.

“What is wonderful to see is the health board – a public body – working with the community and providing land to enable this to happen.

“We are keen to support more public sector organisations, particularly those who fall under the Well-being and Future Generations Act, to do more of this because it makes a big difference.

“This is a really innovating leading example and it would be great to see other bodies and organisations do something similar.

“We want to see more of these types of projects and to scale them up because we have issues in the food system. We are getting unhealthier as a result of the food we eat. In Wales, diabetes levels are the highest in the UK – a lot of that is down to diet.

“On the other side, agriculture practices are intensive and cause damage to our environment and rivers.

“There are issues in our food system which are causing problems for people today and for generations to come. We need to change course for the long term.

“Public bodies really need to be focusing on how their decisions are going to impact the long-term, and working together to prevent problems occurring.

“What we are seeing with this project is a fantastic collaboration that delivers numerous benefits in the production of healthy food while it also has exciting plans to develop further.”

Aside from producing fruit and vegetables, the CSA has provided many other benefits to the community.

It dedicates two acres of its site to habitat restoration, while it also hosts horticultural workshops on site to share skills such as pruning, grafting, growing, harvesting, and cooking food.

Local schools have learned how to grow their own chips by planting potatoes, while the site has also been utilised by the hospital’s brain injury service as part of its innovative approach to rehabilitating patients.

Will Beasley is a consultant surgeon at Morriston Hospital and director of Cae Felin.

He said: “It was really pleasing to welcome the Future Generations Commissioner to Cae Felin and show him the good work that is going on.

“It shows he recognises the fundamental importance of making the connection between the crisis in our food, health and social systems, and that change is desperately needed to ensure a resilient and sustainable future.”

South Wales Police Swansea and Neath Port Talbot | | The Safer Swansea gazebo at Caer Street taxi rank, Castle Square, has now been funded for a whole year to March 2025.👇

Initially trialled over the Christmas period and then extended to the end of March, the gazebo is open between 11pm-3am on Wednesday, Saturday and Bank Holiday weekends.

Sergeant Chris Dix said: "Alongside Yvonne Lewis from Swansea Council Licensing, we scrutinised the taxi marshal reports, leading us to realise that we had an issue with vulnerability, whereby potentially vulnerable persons were unable to get a taxi home if the driver wanted cash payment and they only had a card to hand.

"The gazebo is a safe place, staffed by an additional taxi marshal where people can wait until a suitable means of transport home is found."
