Minutes:
Council
received a Statement from the Cabinet Member for Community Safety and Public Protection
advising Council that a joint meeting of the Neath Port Talbot and Swansea
Public Services Boards had recently taken place in relation to substance misuse
which had agreed that the situation warranted a heightened level of
response. To this end a joint task force
had been set up to identify actions that would seek to address the problems
being experienced across the 2 Local Authority areas.
An
All Member Seminar would shortly be arranged to update Members on the work
being undertaken and also to receive from Members details of any local
issues. A report would also be submitted
to the Community Safety and Public Protection Sub Committee to enable scrutiny
of the work going forward.
