Community Safety

A Community Safety Strategy has been developed by the Community Safety Forum, a partnership of which the Council is a member, It aims to address local crime and disorder problems in the Borough. The first four indicators are not a direct measure of Council performance, but show whether the Forum is making any progress. The others look at racial equality, actions to help victims of domestic violence and how much we spend on advice and guidance services -
