Dear Resident, 

Neighbourhood Alert - Operation Sceptre Knife Amnesty

As part of Operation Sceptre, we will be taking a mobile knife amnesty bin to various locations across Caerphilly North to provide residents with a safe and anonymous way to surrender knives and bladed articles.

The purpose of the knife amnesty is to reduce the number of weapons in our communities and help prevent serious violence. By removing unwanted knives from homes and public spaces, we can all play a part in making our neighbourhoods safer. No personal details will be required when surrendering items, and all weapons deposited will be safely destroyed.
