Litter Street Survey

Trefechan Youth Club and Communities First Carried out a street litter survey in october. We would like to thank all those young people who helped us take part in the survey and for giving up their time to help us.

Several problem areas were identified:
- Potholes in several streets
- Dog Fouling
- Cigarette Butts
- Litter

We have reported all problems to the relevant authorities to action. Several of the potholes have now been filled in. The Community Safety Partnership have also provided us with free dog fouling bags for local residents. Please call in to collect yours.
