Minutes:
The Group had before it a report * from the Head of Housing and Property Services regarding the Community Safety Partnership (CSP) and the priority areas of work on the CSP Plan for 2015 to 2017.
The Community Safety Officer explained that there was a statutory obligation for local authorities to work in partnership with other agencies to reduce crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour. The partnership was obliged to produce a three year plan to outline how it would achieve this.
She explained that following analysis of data and feedback from members of the public the priorities for the next three years had been agreed as:
Domestic, family and sexual abuse;
Substance misuse;
Anti-social behaviour;
Online safety and scams;
Crime prevention, including rural crime and Prevent (anti-extremism and radicalisation).
The Officer highlighted that a ‘pop up shop’ would be operating in Bampton Street Tiverton from 30th June to the 6th August, offering support regarding scams. The shop would be manned by various agencies and had been promoted in the local newspapers and on social media.
The Officer concluded that the CSP was committed to reducing crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour.
It was RECOMMENDED that:
The Cabinet approve the new priorities within the report and supports the CSP in delivering safety messages to the communities of Mid Devon.
