Jason O’Connell MS has written to Rhondda Cynon Taf Council calling for action to tackle antisocial behaviour at Aberdare Bus Station after residents raised concerns about safety.
In his letter, Mr O’Connell has asked the Council what measures are in place to address antisocial behaviour and whether additional security, CCTV, lighting and partnership working with South Wales Police are being considered.
Jason O’Connell MS stated:
“People should be able to catch a bus without feeling intimidated or fearing for their safety. Aberdare Bus Station is a vital transport hub, and residents deserve to feel safe using it at any time of the day.
“I’ve written to Rhondda Cynon Taf Council because local people are telling me they are worried about antisocial behaviour, particularly during the evenings. Those concerns must be taken seriously.
“I’m asking the Council to set out what action is already being taken and whether additional measures, such as improved security, better lighting and closer working with South Wales Police, can help restore confidence.
“Our communities deserve safe public spaces, and I will continue pressing for practical action to ensure residents can travel without fear.”
Mr O’Connell said he will continue to press for improvements after receiving the Council’s response.
