Commitment 2: Safer Communities
“To develop and undertake a series of projects and initiatives across the borough with an outcome of designing out ASB in our communities.”
Another of our key strategic commitments is to assess statistics and trends using data collected from our case management system and partnership agencies. We will use this data to develop an action plan to deliver projects and initiatives across specific geographical areas to target ASB hot spots within the borough. We want all residents who are residing, visiting and/or working in the borough to feel safe. This follows the direction of the upcoming regulatory framework and ASB principles and will ensure residents have a safe community and neighbourhood.
Where do we want to be
We want to have completed several community improvements that have reduced and/or mitigated the volume and severity of ASB incidents. As a result of these improvements, communities will feel safer and have improved health and wellbeing.
How will we get there
- We will make better use of our data to understand the trends and hot spots for ASB across the borough
- We will work with partners of NABSCOP to develop and support community-led ASB prevention activities
- We will reduce the opportunity for crime and ASB by being proactive with mobile patrols, participating in tenant and resident engagement events, targeting hotspots areas with target hardening measures and enforcement action
How will we know when we have got there
We will have successfully reduced the volume and severity of ASB incidents reported across the borough and this will be demonstrated within the ASB statistics.
