Altaf asks whether the measures taken against anti-social behaviour at Ogmore-by-Sea have worked, and whether they'll be rolled out into other locations.
See the transcript below, or watch the the full video above to see Altaf's question and the First Minister's response.
Altaf Hussain MS
I want to declare an interest as I am an elected councillor of Bridgend County Borough Council. First Minister, in July it was reported that the police were planning to use powers to crack down on anti-social behaviour at Ogmore-by-Sea using a dispersal order. Will the First Minister outline how successful this measure has been, and if it has worked, whether he believes that other hotspots could benefit? Thank you very much.
First Minister, Mark Drakeford MS
Llywydd, I think it is more for the police and their partners on the ground to be able to report on the success of their initiatives in any locality, rather than for me. What I do know is that, ever since May of this year, a weekly meeting has taken place, led by local police services but involving all blue-light partners.
In the Ogmore setting, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, the British Transport Police and others review all the evidence of activity over the previous weekend, they look forward to events that are happening over the week ahead, and they try and align their resources to respond to those local community needs. That is why that neighbourhood policing, in which PCSOs play such a part, is able to respond to issues when there is a need to mobilise resources in the way that Altaf Hussain referred to in the Ogmore context.
