Issue - meetings

The Board received a report presenting the Safer Communities Action Plan for 2009/10.

The document set out the key actions under the Safer and Stronger Communities Service for the new financial year. Delivery Plans had been prepared for each of the areas covered by the Action Plan and the Board was advised that these were available on request from the Safer Communities Team and would shortly be published on the Council’s website.

An overview was provided of how the objectives contained within the Plan linked to the LAA priorities within the Boards responsibility.  

It was noted that there were several new areas of work being focussed on during the new year including N1 21, which related to perceptions around how the Police and Local Authority dealt with crime and anti social behaviour locally. There would also be an increased focus on domestic violence and a multi agency panel consisting of thirty people had already been established to lead on this.

Members of the Board were encouraged to contact officers if there was anything additional that they felt should be included within any of the plans.

RESOLVED:

That the measures set out in the Safer Communities Action Plan, which supported the key National Indicators within the Board’s responsibility, be noted.
