Leader's Announcements

Minutes:

The Leader of Council was pleased to inform members that Neath Port Talbot Council is the first Local Authority in the South Wales police force area to sign up to an employer supported policing scheme. Members heard how employees will get paid time off if they become special constables or police support volunteers, which will assist with boosting police numbers to make communities safer.  

The Leader made reference to Council employee Wayne Curtis, who trained to become a Special Constable last year.
