Police launch new campaign to tackle antisocial behaviour in Swansea’s bus station and Castle Square

South Wales Police Neighbourhood Inspector Mark Watkins said. “The vast majority of the teenagers congregating at the bus station and Castle Gardens have not been causing any issues, however, a small minority are causing ASB.

“Antisocial behaviour covers a wide range of offences that go beyond what many people may associate with the term – this ranges from verbal abuse and harassment, to nuisance drinking and drug dealing.

“We have increased patrols in these areas at peak times, and utilised powers to move youths on where appropriate, however my plea is to parents and carers to make sure they know what their children are doing outside of school and in the evenings and weekends.

“A lot of time, effort and money has been put into making Swansea city centre a better, more inviting place for people to visit, yet issues such as recent ASB is impacting the wider community.

“Anti-social behaviour by youths is a concern to all members of our community and my officers are committed to doing all they can to prevent any such behaviour.”
