About 30 people attended the second meeting of the Twerton PACT (Partnerships and Communities Together).
1) Somer announced that they had introduced a programme to put new electronic door locks on all the external doors in the Twerton area and that this programme should be complete by January 2009.
2) The police reported that the crack down on burglaries in the area was working and the crime stats that they produced showed a falling crime rate one of which we will hope to see continue.
3) Tim Ball gave a report on developments in youth provision in the area at Southside youth Centre and how the council had attracted private sponsors to provide some improvements to the building as well as further provisions.
The next three Priorities have now been set
And these are
- More Police Patrols at Night on foot
- Community cleaning programme
- Community relations awareness
Are these your priorities? What can local organisations and we as a community do to address these issues? Have we done enough to address the first PACT issues?
