Powys councillor calls for police to crack down on Welshpool vandals

A POWYS County Councillor has called on the police to step up against a rise in anti-social behaviour in Welshpool.

The calls come after a weekend that saw a string of damaging incidents across the town.

Maesydre playing fields was damaged by a stolen tractor, shop windows were smashed, cars damaged, and runners were abused on the local towpath.

Councillor Graham Breeze, who represents the Llanerchyddol Ward on Powys County Council, has called on Dyfed Powys Police to take action to track down the offenders.

He said: “I have made contact with senior officers and along with the town’s other county councillors have a meeting with the local policing team this week when I will be raising the issue as one of real concern.
