There has been a high profile police presence on some estates in Narberth over the last week or so, reports the town's County Councillor Wynne Evans.

"And I am grateful to them, as the residents who have endured weeks of turmoil are reassured by the police presence," he said.

"This is very much reflected in calls I have received from local people."

Clr. Evans continued: "I hope senior housing officers too will be far more available to tackle the concerns that residents have.

"I am now seeking advice to have an exclusion order on certain individuals from entering the estates who have no family connections or a genuine reason for being there."

He concluded: "I have also contacted senior politicians to visit Narberth in the coming weeks to highlight the fear some families in Narberth live in from anti-social behaviour."

Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed that they were aware of the issues regarding anti-social behaviour caused by a small number of people in the Garfield Gardens area of Narberth and had listened to community concerns with a robust response.

Police in the area have stepped up patrols and in the last week four people have been arrested and charged in connection with the anti-social behaviour. They have been bailed with strict conditions to appear in Haverfordwest Magistrates Court on October 23.

They are three males aged 27, 23 and 22 and one female aged 33.

Inspector Kathryn Griffiths said: "Although our figures of anti-social behaviour are relatively low compared to other Police Force areas, we know that small numbers of people can have a big impact on communities. We are working with partner organisations to deal with offenders and protect our residents."
