Embedded Files
In April 2023 it was agreed that an Ashton PACT meeting be held 4 times per year. The chosen venue needed to be accessible, free or low cost to hire and within the Ashton ward. Ashton Scouts, Ashton Methodist Church and Sacred Heart Church kindly offered their facilities. In 2024, in response to comments on Facebook, we tried holding them once a month. The frequency doesn't seem to make a difference to attendance. There tends to be between 12 and 15 people at a typical meeting. Residents are notified via email and Facebook. If you would like to be added to the mailing list please contact ashtononribbleanchor@gmail.com.

ASHTON PACT (Police and Communities Together) MEETINGS
ASHTON PACT (Police and Communities Together) MEETINGS
In 2017, following a decline in attendance, the Ashton PACT meetings led by the police and elected councillors stopped being held.
In late September 2018, prompted by a discussion with an Ashton resident regarding the number of crimes occurring in the neighbourhood, Cllr. Liz Atkins arranged an Emergency PACT meeting.
The minutes of the Emergency Meeting can be viewed here.
Following the meeting, a Powis Road resident contacted Cllr. Gillian Oliver to arrange a shadow walk the length of Powis Road with representatives from LCC Highways and concerned residents to discuss areas of concern.
You can read the report from Highways, here.
