Last week in The Leader there was an article on poor attendance at Policing Meetings.
Communities are failing to come together even when their community has a problem.
Councillors have little excuse for not attending, 80% of Penyffordd Councillors have never been to a forum. It is an open forum where community members can bring up issues and have a dual dialogue instead of the monthly community meeting where members of the public are not allowed to speak.
If communities have problems they can only be solved quickly and properly if the community work together
with their community beat managers. Councillors should be proactive in getting residents to come to Neibourhood Policing Forums especially those with issues that require Police attention. A more structured advance notice by CBM's would also help.
