Bethel Flats - Chairman has been in a meeting with the Racism Officer, helpful information was given to him.
There was an incident on site on 16 May with the tenants living in the top flat, in the 'on going' problem due to drugs and alcohol. Disappointingly: for this the Police do not have powers to do much, the Police have visited the site at weekends because there is an alcohol and drug problem in these flats, The Police cannot carry out a raid because there is not enough evidence, the Police have a list of the names of the people who the numbers of the cars that go there. The Chairman would be grateful if the County Councillor could follow this is up with the County Council / Police. Councillor Rogers has dealt with the situation and had discussions with the Police / County Council, Cllr, B. Owen is aware of these concerns.
AMH - very disappointed with the way the County Councillor and the Police have dealt with this matter.
Cllr. B Owen - why can't a camera be put on the site if the Police and the County Council are aware of the problems who are in these apartments.
