At Penarth Town Council’s meeting on March 19, a verbal update was given by Penarth Youth Action.

Apologies were received from councillors R Birch, M Cuddy, and E Evans, as well as from South Wales Police.

The council acknowledged these issues but remained hopeful for an increase in public transport usage.
During police matters, it was suggested that the council members wished for a more comprehensive breakdown of crime categories, particularly theft, and expressed concern over the use of nitrous oxide in specific areas of the town.
