Community Safety Strategy
Community Safety Strategy 2005/08
Taking Action
We are fortunate to live in an area with some of the lowest crime figures in the country. Nevertheless, the Winchester Local Strategic Partnership has identified reducing fear from crimeas a high priority for local residents and businesses. Over the next three years the Winchester Community Safety Partnership will focus on issues that affect the well-being and quality of life of everyone who lives, visits or works in the district.
What is the Winchester Community Safety Partnership?
Every district council has a duty under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 to establish a partnership with the Police, Fire & Rescue Service, County Council and its Primary Care Trust. The purpose of this partnership is to agree policies and activities that will help to reduce crime and opportunities for crime.
Partnership working is important because fighting crime is not just a matter for the Police, it is also about the environment, housing, licensing and how we co-operate with volunteers in our local communities.
Each Partnership must produce a Community Safety Strategy every three years and here we set out the aims and objectives that we propose will lead to an overall reduction in crime and disorder between 2005 and 2008.
Strategic Aims
To achieve our crime reduction targets we have to have a programme of activities and initiatives that are really going to make a difference and which residents and businesses support.
These are our strategic aims:
- To create a safe and enjoyable evening economy
- To create communities that feel safe
- To reduce crime through better partnership working
- To be tough on anti-social behaviour
- To react quickly and firmly to criminal activity.
