Trouble in the Triangle
St.Mellons received unwelcome attention on the front page of the South Wales Echo in February after Lovells Builders downed tools and left the St. Mellons Regeneration Project site in Crumlin Drive and Rogerstone Close.
Lovells had suffered theft of equipment, “children running amok” and physical assaults on their employees with missiles, including bricks!
Councillor Ralph Cook had already started organising a meeting between the Police, Lovells and Council’s housing, anti-social behaviour and truancy service.
Ralph Cook said:
“The meeting was very positive; everyone gave assurances that they would do their part to clamp down on the dangerous and illegal activities of the minority of local youths involved”.
Lovells returned to site on the 13th of February and tell us behaviour has since improved.
