THIS HAS NOW BECOME URGENT:

WITH A RISK TO LIFE SOUTH WALES FIRE AND SAFETY PROHIBITION ON THE OPERATIONS UNIT IN NEWBRIDGE AND A CONVICTED PAEDOPHILE CONFIRMED AS A VOLUNTEER OF A BABY BANK WE NEED JAYNE'S BABY BANK SHUT DOWN AND NOT JUST REMOVED FROM PONTYPOOL.

In the heart of Pontypool, a town rich with heritage and community spirit, a troubling issue has emerged that threatens the safety and dignity of its residents. I am a concerned member of this community, and I feel compelled to address the growing distress and fear that is impacting innocent shoppers, especially our children, vulnerable and elderly citizens. Jayne's baby bank, under the management of Jayne Price, the organisation in Pontypool town at Crane street and Commercial Street has become a hotspot for antisocial behaviour and criminal activities. Instances of harassment and assault are becoming all too common, causing many to avoid our beloved town centre out of fear.

The shops have been a source of ongoing concern, culminating in allegations against Jayne Price for surveillance tactics, including photographing and videoing unsuspecting passersby then asking on her public Community Interest Company Facebook page for the names and addresses of these innocent passerby's. The situation has deteriorated to such an extent that the local council has intervened, deeming the store a health and safety hazard. However, even with this official notice, Jayne Price continues to refuse to vacate the premises for the necessary works to be carried out on the historic Grade II listed building in Crane Street and is also occupying the interconnected building in Commercial Street.  

We cannot allow the egregious actions of one individual to overshadow the safety and well-being of the entire community. It is crucial that the authorities take decisive action by removing Jayne Price immediately. Doing so would not only ensure the health and safety standards of these cherished buildings but also restore peace and security to the town centre, allowing everyone to enjoy what Pontypool has to offer without fear of harassment.

It is time for our town to unite and demand change. Let us protect our children, vulnerable and elderly residents by insisting on the immediate removal of Jayne Price from Pontypool all together and ensuring that Pontypool once again becomes a safe and welcoming place for all. Please join me in signing this petition to make our voices heard and bring about the change that Pontypool desperately needs.

EDIT: This situation has now escalated due the organisation Jayne's Baby Bank CIC being in association with known convicted pedophile Raymond Watkins/Ray Ipac AKA par-tricks entertainment. Raymond Watkins was charged with offences related to indecent images of children  found on his home computer, along with child abuse magazines and photographs of unknown children playing in the street and parks. He was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment and is now working alongside the founder Jayne Price at Jayne's Baby Bank Pontypool. This has become a dire situation and a major safeguarding concern as the organisation is centred around children and vulnerable families. Raymond Watkins has been observed entering the premises with his own set of keys, appearing in live streams with the owner of Jayne's Baby Bank, Recorded in operational activities and recorded assisting customers.

Please sign the petition and share it far and wide to protect and safeguard the people of Pontypool and South Wales.
