Dyfed-Powys Neighbourhood Watch is seeking advice on securing larger amounts of funding to expand their efforts in crime prevention and community safety.
The organisation has been instrumental in reducing crime rates and fostering a sense of community within the Dyfed-Powys region. However, to further enhance their impact, they are looking to increase their funding to support initiatives such as:
If you or someone you know has experience in securing larger funding for community organisations, or if you have any advice on potential funding sources, please reach out to Dyfed-Powys Neighbourhood Watch. Your expertise would be invaluable in helping them achieve their goals. You can contact the Association Secretary on [email protected] or the Chair directly on [email protected]. You can also contact the Chair on 07300485129. This afternoon, the Chair & Vice-Chair of Dyfed-Powys Neighbourhood Watch had a meeting with the Local Authority on the Mount Estate to discuss waste management and fly-tipping.
It's important for all residents to follow the guidelines set out by the Welsh Government and the Local Authority regarding waste disposal. Please ensure you're disposing of your waste and recycling correctly. Unfortunately, we've noticed an increase in fly-tipping on the estate, which is not only unsightly but also illegal. We have also noticed abandoned vehicles which have been reported by Pembrokeshire County Council staff themselves when doing the assessment of the estate. To address this issue, CCTV cameras will be installed in specific areas to catch offenders and residents are urged to make a report to both the police and the Local Authority. We will be working closely with WISE, Housing Officers, Environmental Health, and other agencies to combat fly-tipping, issue warnings and/or liaise with those who are not complying to figure out why people are finding it an issue. Any fly-tipping incidents, Anti-Social Behaviour (or any crime) witnessed by Neighbourhood Watch Coordinators & Volunteers will be reported to the relevant agencies and departments. Please note that certain communal waste areas are designated for specific flat blocks. Please place your rubbish outside your curb or near your property for collection. If your waste is missed, please contact Pembrokeshire County Council. There's no excuse for not following the guidelines. All agencies will be taking a firm stance against these ongoing issues. Please store your waste in your garden area until it's time to dispose of 3 black bags every 3 weeks. The local authority managers also recognised that throwing or damaging of the green food waste bins when the waste team are disposing of the waste are not "standard practice" and have since apologised. They will be issuing a memo to collection staff that collect the waste on the estate. If any residents need any new bins, they have requested they contact the offices at Pembrokeshire County Council to request new ones. We understand the concerns raised by the council regarding communal areas and agree with their stance and their concerns. We also understand the concerns raised by residents and also empathise with their concerns, however, evidence suggested that all residents were pre-warned of the change in their waste disposal dates and were given calendars for their collection dates. Neighbourhood Watch will be requesting increased police presence in the area to monitor the situation and engage with residents who are not complying. If you're unsure about collection dates, you can sign up for alerts on the Pembrokeshire County Council website. You can also report issues, view, and manage your account online. You can also view the waste management calendar on their website, but if you want another copy, please request so with Pembrokeshire County Council.

The majority of the rubbish that was previously cluttering the streets has been cleared up thanks to Pembrokeshire County Council.
While there's still some work to be done in the area, the improvement is remarkable. Even the grass was cut! We're grateful for the community's support and involvement in keeping our neighbourhoods clean and safe. Our Chair & Vice-Chair - Ajay Owen & Jordan Rice - will be meeting with the environmental team next week to discuss further steps, and plan a joint visit to the Mount Estate. Let's continue working together to make a positive difference in our community! We are happy to liaise with members of the public. You can send us a confidential email on: [email protected]. IF YOU WISH TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS, PLEASE STATE SO IN THE EMAIL. We are here to support anyone across Dyfed-Powys.  We’re excited to share some positive news from our recent meeting with the Police & Crime Commissioner (OPCC). The PCC expressed a strong desire to work more closely with Neighbourhood Watch Schemes across Dyfed-Powys.
This is a significant development for our community. By collaborating more closely with the PCC, we can leverage their resources and expertise to enhance our crime prevention efforts and make our neighbourhoods even safer. Some of the key areas we discussed include:
We believe that this increased collaboration will have a positive impact on our communities. By working together, we can make a real difference in reducing crime and improving the quality of life for everyone.  Dyfed-Powys Neighbourhood Watch is taking a proactive stance against the escalating issues regarding rubbish & flytipping on the Mount Estate in Milford Haven. Despite repeated attempts to schedule a meeting with Pembrokeshire County Council to discuss a comprehensive solution, no meeting has been arranged as of yet. We continue to welcome them to discuss this issue with us.
"We remain committed to addressing this pressing concern and will continue to pursue a meeting with the Local Authority to explore effective strategies," said Ajay Owen, Chair of Dyfed-Powys Neighbourhood Watch. "We want to work with the local authority to provide support and assistance in improving the estate." To provide direct support to the community, both the Chair and Vice-Chair of Neighbourhood Watch will be present on the Mount Estate on Friday afternoon. Residents are encouraged to take this opportunity to share their concerns, ask questions, and discuss potential solutions. "We welcome all members of the Mount Estate to engage with us on Friday afternoon," said Jordan Rice, Vice-Chair of Dyfed-Powys Neighbourhood Watch. "Together, we can work towards a cleaner and safer neighbourhood. You should see us around - so, if you wish to speak to us, please do approach us. We are here to help." The Association is urging the Local Authority to prioritise this issue and engage in a collaborative dialogue with the community, relevant teams and organisations. By working together, we can find effective solutions to combat the waste management issues and improve the quality of life for residents on the Mount Estate. |
