Anti-social behaviour and crime in Newport City Centre is out of control.
Shoplifting, drug dealing, fights, and people under the influence of drugs and drink are just a few of the ongoing problems within our city centre.
Businesses contact me regularly complaining about the spiralling problem and the lack of action being taken to tackle the issue.
We need to see a robust plan brought forward by the police and local authority to clamp down on crime in the area which must include better CCTV and a more visible police presence.
