Blocking the entire pavement around Aberaman was a talking point in the last 2 Pact meetings also parking on or near narrow road junctions. At the previous meeting, the police said they would look into it and get the RCTC traffic Van to make a point of patrolling, and the local councillor advised that she would get the traffic wardens to look at parking on yellow lines. Did this happen? Who knows.
Brook Street and nearby streets are a safe route for children attending Blaengwawr Primary School. there are several street where sume residents block off the pavement completely.

FB: I know parking in Brook St is difficult, but think to yourself…can an emergency vehicle pass if i park here? There is no way a fire engine could get through, and also parked on a double yellow. Appreciate they’ve left a clear space on the pavement, but I’d much rather an emergency vehicle have access than a pedestrian or pram.
FB: I know emergency vehicles need to pass, but parking on the pavement isn’t the answer. My child is in a wheelchair which you cannot get up and down curbs .so if a car is blocking the pavement fully then we are stuck and either have to walk back until we find a dropped curb or risk damaging a very expensive wheelchair and injuring my child and/or myself by trying to bump down a curb and then have to walk in the road until we find another dropped curb.
This affects not just wheelchairs but pushchairs, toddlers on reins or holding parents’ hands , blind people with guide dogs or canes, the elderly with walking aids, kids on

PACT meetings
PACT (Police and Communities Together) meetings are held regularly by your Neighbourhood Policing Team. Members of the public are always welcome to attend.
Your local Neighbourhood Policing Team holds regular meetings with members of the community, station staff, retailers and representatives from train operating companies to help determine how policing issues in your area can best be tackled.
These meetings give officers the opportunity to talk to passengers about current issues, and together they set the policing priorities for their neighbourhood.
What happens at a PACT meeting?
Local issues are identified and policing priorities are set. Usually, a Neighbourhood Policing Team will have a maximum of three priorities.
Working with representatives from the local community, our officers will plan how best to engage with the local community and how to fulfil each priority.
Officers will also explain what actions have been taken to resolve issues and together with the community representatives, a decision will be made on whether a priority has been successfully dealt with.
