THE future of Saundersfoot Police Station, the effectiveness of publicly-funded CCTV and concerns over anti-social behaviour were among the issues raised during the Police and Crime Commissioner's visit to south Pembrokeshire.

Commissioner Chris Salmon spoke to local traders, harbour staff and school children on January 28, as part of his 'Your Voice' tour.

Those who met Mr Salmon included members of Saundersfoot Community Council and Neyland Town Council. He also discussed matters with local PCSOs, local traders and with staff and pupils at Saundersfoot Community Primary School.

Mr Salmon said: “Saundersfoot Police Station is open for business although I’m exploring other possible bases in the local community. No change will be made until new arrangements are put in place.

“Public CCTV is, largely, the responsibility of the county council. I’m happy to help those and others with CCTV budgets look at best options for the future.

“Councillors in Neyland reported local issues with a small number of young motorists. I’ll ask the Chief Constable what action local police are taking.

“I welcome the public’s thoughts and ideas on any of the matters discussed.”

The Commissioner oversees an annual Dyfed-Powys policing fund of around £100m. As the elected voice of the public, it is his job to make the police answerable to the communities they serve.

He works in partnership across a range of agencies to ensure a unified approach to preventing and reducing crime.

Mr Salmon has arranged 12 regional visits through 2015 – three in each Dyfed-Powys county of Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Powys.

The schedule includes: Newcastle Emlyn and Lampeter; Presteigne and Knighton; Llanelli and Burry Port; St Davids and Fishguard; Aberystwyth; Carmarthen and St Clears; Builth Wells and Brecon; New Quay and Aberaeron.
