HomeLlangennech, Bryn & Hendy Neighbourhood Policing Team
Local Priorities
- Llangennech - Increased pub visits and evening patrols due to recent pub burglaries in the area
- Hendy – Underage drinking in various locations in Hendy
What We Have Done
- Anti-social behaviour in Hendy park
High visibility patrols have been conducted, local youths have been spoken to and ASB warning letters have been issued to those who are causing annoyance at the location. - Vehicles parking inappropriately on Clayton Road, Hendy
Leaflet drop has been conducted in the street, warning vehicle owners about the manner in which they are parking their vehicles. This has resolved the issue.

PCSO Steve Lloyd
Collar Number: 8041
PCSO Steve Lloyd joined Dyfed-Powys Police in October 2006, working from the Llwynhendy office. He previously worked as a primary school teacher in Carmarthenshire, and following a number of years in the classroom decided that it was time to change direction and become a PCSO. He says, “The role appealed to me from a number of fronts, including the fact that it would be diverse in nature, that much of my time would be spent outdoors, and also the fact that it involves meeting and addressing the needs of the community.”
