The Mayor was very busy in the latter months of 2022, visiting residents of Llys Raddington and Rhiwlas, Bolingbroke Heights Christmas get together, RNLI Carol Concert, Presenting a Long Service Award at the Fire Station and attending a presentation on behalf of the Yacht Angling club.
On Monday 28th November, the Mayor, Cllr. Mrs. Michelle Perfect welcomed a number of local groups to the Town Hall to receive a donation from monies raised at Rock the Castle in July.
The Mayor was honoured to present the money to these groups as they are an integral part of our community and benefit so many residents in Flint. Most are run by volunteers.
The presentation took place in the Council Chamber and then the guests enjoyed some light refreshments in the Mayor’s Parlour.
The Mayor said ‘Rock the Castle is our biggest fundraising event of Flint Festival where attendees give money through ticket sales and in buckets on the day, as a town council we then give this money out to local groups identified by the Mayor each year. It is a privilege to give this money out to those groups chosen and I hope it goes some way to make a difference throughout our community of Flint’.

In September 2021 StreetSafe was launched as part of the VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) campaign.
This is a non-crime reporting tool hosted on Police.uk for members of the public to anonymously pinpoint public places which make them feel unsafe and say why.
NWP had over 200 hits but we haven’t had any public use of it since April 2022.
Although the initial intention is to help combat VAWG, it evidently has subsequent potential to highlight further issues in our communities that may need tackling. This includes particular locations and factors that lead to people feeling unsafe and/or might help offenders either commit or conceal a crime – such as street lighting, abandoned buildings or poorly designed spaces, vandalism, as well as behaviours of individuals or groups of people.
This will assist with understanding our communities’ concerns and can be used alongside other available data to aid decision making.
This is an anonymous facility and users are informed from the outset that it is not a crime recording tool. Users will be directed to the right channels and guidance, including online crime reporting services, 101 and 999, should they need to report an incident.
