PACT meeting

Here are the issues discussed at PACT, this evening, and the action I have just taken:

Penalty notices: I updated residents about the penalty notices issued between March and May. There were a total of 437 penalty notices. The highest number (55) was in Watkiss Way, followed by Pendyris Street (37) and Taffs Mead Embankment (36). Other ‘hot spots’ were Penarth Road, Clare Road and Pentre Street.

Illegal parking: there were concerns about the cars being regularly double-parked on Clare Road, at the junction with Court Road. I raised this with the officer responsible for traffic wardens.

Dog Fouling: I’ve been asking the Council for bags to be provided next to the litter bins so as to encourage dog owners to dispose of dog waste appropriately. This is an ongoing. There seem to be specific dog owners who do not dispose of dog waste appropriately and who keep aggressive dogs without a lead. The Police are looking into this.

Alley-gating: there are some issues in specific locations with former tenants not returning the keys. I have raised it with the appropriate officer asking to look into the possibility of changing the lock. I have also asked for a ‘no ball games’ sign to be installed on the gate on Coedcae Street.

Litter: the area under the fly-over by Morrison’s and Prospect Place is littered by pigeon droppings. I raised it with the Chief Officer and asked for measures to deter pigeon droppings.

Other: ASDA trolleys are taken and left around Grangetown. I raised it with the Council asking them to put pressure on ASDA to put in place coin-operating trolleys.
