Made up of representatives of the district, city and county councils, as well as police, businesses, the college and university, the group’s formation was first agreed during a meeting of the full council in September.
Between now and Easter 2023, it will look into issues such as littering and graffiti as well as the enforcement of rules relating to cycling, pedlars and busking, shops repairs and the use of ‘intrusive’ shop signs and A-boards.
