Issue - meetings

·        Joanne McCartney advised of the publication of an options report relating to Fire Authority cuts and which would eventually constitute part of the overall Fire Plan. Of particular concern was the inclusion of a proposal to close Tottenham Fire Station. It was agreed that the details of this report would be sent to the Chair to circulate as there was a lack of awareness of the existence of this report across the Partnership. The Chair would then pick up the issue with Spencer Alden-Smith outside the meeting. If necessary, this issue would be added to the agenda of the special CSP meeting required in the new year. 

·        The Noel Park Week of Action was currently underway, consisting of a programme of 70 activities including high visibility patrolling, various engagement events, a deep clean of the area, re-launch of the Communication Link system for shop owners etc. Early indications were that the initiative was already starting to achieve a number of the stated outcomes such as a reduction in crime, partnership working etc. In recognition of this, it was proposed that this could be included as part of the MOPAC bid with demonstrated outcomes. Further evaluation of its success would also determine the potential for roll out of the model in other areas of the borough. A summary report would be provided to the next meeting.
