This report will be sent to follow.

The Board were advised that a pilot Community Justice Court will be held at Tottenham Courthouse (subject to the results of a feasibility study) one day per week. The court will focus upon quality of life crimes such as noise nuisance, littering, fly-tipping, anti-social behaviour, and possession of drugs, prostitution and soliciting women. The initial focus for the initiative will be for the above types of crimes committed in 3 wards- Tottenham Green, Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters. The Board noted that further wards were likely to be added once the court has become established.

The Board were informed that the pilot community justice court would begin on 29th January 2008. The Board queried the involvement of young people in the court process and learned that a sub group of the judicial group would further discuss this.

RESOLVED

That the Board note the update
