The Community Safety Plan 2020-23 will expire
on 31st March 2024 and it is a statutory requirement to compile and
implement a 3-year plan for combatting crime and disorder in the
area. Plans are underway for the plan development including a
strategic needs assessment.
It is also a statutory requirement to obtain the views of those who
live or work in the area about which crime and disorder matters to
prioritise. Accordingly, this item seeks Executive permission to
proceed with this consultation.
RESOLVED that the public consultation on the recommended strategic priorities for the Community Safety Plan 2024-27 be approved which will start on Monday 22 July for a period of 4 weeks.
1. Obtaining the views as set out in paragraph 1 above is a statutory requirement under the Crime and Disorder (Formulation and Implementation of Strategy) Regulations 2007.
2. It is widely accepted among community safety partnerships that public consultation has significant benefits – it confirms and challenges priorities, identifies priorities in hard-to-reach groups, provides alternative voices and has the benefit of encouraging communication and co-operation between the partnership and the public.
Due to the statutory requirements as well as the benefits reflected in paragraph 3
above, no alternative options have been considered.
