What do PCSOs  (Police Community Support Officers) do?

In Dyfed Powys the main role of our PCSOs is to support the Neighbourhood Policing Teams by engaging with the community and providing a highly-visible and reassuring presence.

Nationally all PCSOs have been granted a standard set of powers and the Chief Constable also has the discretion to grant a limited number of additional powers through the Police Reform Act 2002.  Currently in our force, they have not been designated with the power of detention but are able to deal with minor anti-social behaviour and quality of life issues.

Their powers include seizing tobacco and cigarettes from young people causing a nuisance, and the ability to demand the name and address of people acting in an anti-social way.  They can stop and direct traffic and pedal cycles, should this be necessary.  They can seize drugs and require the name and address of the persons possessing them.  They also have the power to issue fixed penalty tickets for certain minor offences such as cycling on a footway, dog fouling, litter, and throwing fireworks.

Stray Dogs

 The Environmental Protection Act 1990 imposes a duty on the County Council to seize stray dogs and impound.  Owners reclaiming dogs must pay a fixed fine and a daily kennelling charge.  

 Other legislation covers identification tags, dangerous dogs, dog fouling and nuisance, and restrictions on dogs on certain beaches.

You can expect:

A response to service requests within the target time scales (5 working days or if urgent in 1 working day);

How you can help us

 If you have a dog, keep it under control and know where it is.  

 Always clear up after your dog.  

 If your dog goes missing, contact us.

Fly Tipping

Pembrokeshire County Council is committed to stamping out the illegal disposal of waste and is a full funding partner of the Pride in our Communities campaign. The Council's commitment to this project will support measures to combat fly tipping in Pembrokeshire over the next three years, as part of a co-ordinated programme across South West Wales.

The project will explore the causes and effects of fly-tipping and illegal waste disposal. The outcomes can then be directly related to localities within Pembrokeshire, particularly in known hot spot areas. Education and enforcement initiatives will target affected communities in Pembrokeshire and if necessary clearances of tipped material and environmental improvements may also be carried out.

As waste disposal costs increase there is a danger that fly-tipping will substantially increase. Education and enforcement must go hand in hand to combat the problem of litter and illegal waste disposal. Initiatives from this project should reduce the adverse environmental consequences of fly-tipping on the landscape of Pembrokeshire, particularly in blighted areas. This will result in cleaner neighbourhoods, raising the amenity value and generating pride in Pembrokeshire communities.

To report any incidences of fly-tipping please call the contact centre: 01437 764551

Street Lighting - Repair

Pembrokeshire County Councils' Street Lighting Repair section maintains the operation of all street lighting, illuminated signs, bollards and traffic controls (pelican crossings, zebra crossings and permanent traffic lights) in the county. A night inspection is carried out in every area once a fortnight, but if a fault or emergency needs to be reported before that, this can be done by calling the Service Line, and if possible quoting the Identity Number on the column, i.e. 804-352. This number helps the department to locate and process the fault.

Civic Amenity and Recycling Centres

What is a Civic Amenity and Recycling Centre?

In simple terms, a Civic Amenity and Recycling Centre is a one-stop shop that enables you to dispose of and recycle your waste.

Over the past couple of years, Pembrokeshire County Council has invested heavily in these sites by upgrading them to accommodate more waste streams and also through intensive staff training.

Recycling your waste has never been so easy.

Who can use them?

The Civic Amenity and Recycling Centres are open to all householders who may use the facilities free of charge for normal domestic household waste and recycling. Larger quantities may incur a charge.

Pembrokeshire County Council’s Civic Amenity Sites are not intended for the disposal of large amounts of construction / demolition waste, from either businesses or significant home DIY renovation works. However, small quantities of building and construction waste from small scale DIY projects carried out by members of the public to their own properties will be accepted free of charge.

 For any larger individual items i.e. from bathroom suites, fitted kitchen units, windows, doors, fencing and dismantled sheds etc. there will be a nominal charge in accordance with the schedule towards disposal costs. All trade and business customers will be charged.

 Large quantities of materials will not be accepted and you are recommended to use a licensed skip / waste contractor.

 Charges must be paid for at the time of use.

 Small businesses are also able to deposit some of their waste at these sites although charges apply for discarding some materials. Please call the contact centre: on 01437 764551 for details of what you can take to a site and how much it will cost.

Pembroke to Swansea Overhead Electricity Line Refurbishment

The work

Refurbishment work is being carried out on the two overhead electricity lines that run between Pembroke and Swansea.

Work along the 80km route will include either the full or part replacement of 108 pylons and the replacement of foundations at 110 pylons.

When carrying out work such as this, we aim to keep disruption to the community and to the environment to a minimum.

The work will be carried out by the Electricity Alliance, a partnership between National Grid, Babcock, Amec and Mott McDonald.

Keeping You Informed

National Grid and the Electricity Alliance are committed to keeping the local community updated with information about the project.

If you require any further information please call the Electricity Alliance Community Relations Team on freephone 0800 073 1047.

Timings

Preparation works will commence in November 2009, with the main works starting in January 2010.

The project is expected to be completed by Spring 2011.
