What We Have Done

Tregaron

• To tackle anti-social behaviour, we have focussed on increasing our visible presence in the area, portable CCTV is being used in the town, and we have worked with Communities First and Ceredigion Youth Service to run workshops which aim to offer activities for young people in the area, as well as offering them training to help them find employment. Parking tickets have been issued by police officers on patrol in the area, and there will be traffic wardens patrolling key areas of Tregaron. 

Llangeitho and Llanddewi Brefi

• The ‘read your speed’ sign has been deployed with drivers being spoken to. The Roads Policing Unit have also been actively enforcing in the area.
