Following the latest PACT meeting on 27th January 2009 which was held at John Taylor School in Barton, feedback was given about the issues highlighted at the previous meeting. Those issues were Anti Social Behaviour and inconsiderate parking in Palmer Close, Barton, which the Police have targeted with increased patrols and advice to customer at nearby pub, this action had resulted in fewer problems occurring.
Anti Social Behaviour in the pocket park in Ash Tree Road Barton which the Police reported had received extra attention and 4 warning letters had been sent to parents of youths seen causing issues at location and there behaviour will now be monitored. The Parish council had also sent out a flyer to residents bordering the park requesting they report any Anti Social Behaviour to the Police so a true picture of the problem could be obtained.
The next PACT meeting will be held on 10th March 2009, 7:00 pm at John Taylor School, all residents are invited to attend if they have issues to raise which effect them, and the committee will try to address those issues.

The Barton PACT ( Partners and Community Together ) Meetings have been very well attended by members of the community concerned about local issues they see that effect there everyday lives. The partners are the local Police, Parish and Borough Councillors and representatives from the schools, Trent and Dove Housing.
The meeting is open to anyone to attend who has a issue however small which effects there quality of life, it is an opportunity to inform the police, councillors and other partner agencies about it with a view to resolving the issue.
Recently the issues have been around the parking of vehicles in Dunstall Road Barton, through PACT the issue was highlight to the local authority which has resulted in white lines be installed around residents drives to prevent parked vehicles obstructing them.
Through PACT John Taylor School have also now installed matting on grassed areas along the drive to the school which in October will enable more vehicles to park within the school grounds thus it is hoped reducing the number of vehicles parking in Dunstall Road.
This is another way PACT has improved the quality of life for the community.
