Project Pinpoint #3

Don’t be fearful on Halloween and Bonfire Night

We are committed to ensuring that our communities feel safe. That’s why every Halloween and Bonfire night, we have an increased presence in your area and a committed team to respond to your calls.

This year our Neighbourhood Policing Teams, alongside officers from Community Safety, will team up with Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Arson Reduction Team across Swansea, Neath, and Port Talbot – ready to respond.  

But that’s not all we do. Each year teams across South Wales will start preparing to ensure that communities can enjoy the festivities safely:

This includes:

• Promoting safe and respectful activities in communities and at key events.
• Engaging with residents, talking to them about the dangers of having their own bonfire.
• Working with fire and local authority partners to remove reported combustible items.
• Visiting pop-up firework shops. *

Report anti-social behaviour

Last Bonfire Night, your reports helped us pinpoint an anti-social behaviour hotspot in Port Talbot.  We responded to an unlicensed bonfire before anyone got hurt.

That’s why every report counts.
