What work is being done to combat growing instances of peer-on-peer sexual harassment and misogyny in Bridgend's i) Primary Schools, ii) Secondary Schools and iii) Specialist Settings?

It was brought to my attention by a local business owner that on Tuesday 30/12/25 there were 4 parking enforcement officers in the town centre booking drivers who had mistakenly parked in the town centre because yet again the bollard was down and not working .

There is now a great deal of confusion around the ETO and who and what is allowed into the town centre when the bollard is down.

Can someone please outline what measures this authority has taken to ensure that Bridgend residents are aware of the restrictions that this council has imposed on drivers wanting to access the town centre not forgetting that many people don’t access social media or the internet?

What is the council’s commitment and ambition towards the quiet lanes scheme?
