The St Athan Neighbourhood Policing Team has forged new links with local property letting agents in St Athan.
Neighbourhood Beat Manager, PC Carl Parry said: “St Athan has a substantial number of rented properties and the neighbourhood police team will be able to work closer with both tenants and the letting agents.
“To make this happen we have drawn together local agents to establish a Letting Agents Forum which will also include the Neighbourhood Policing Team.
“The forum will meet every two months and will be an opportunity for members to exchange of ideas and discuss quality of life issues that affect St Athan.
“We have recently held our first meeting which was a great success. Among the issues raised was the problems highlighted by fly tipping and how we can combat it effectively. I look forward to working closely with members of the Forum in the future.”
