Minutes:

The Committee received the business report of the Safer Cheshire East Partnership (SCEP). It was noted that the Partnership had historically received significant grant funding from the Home Office for both capital and revenue investment, which had steadily reduced in recent years. The remaining £147,000 grant would be paid directly to the new Police and Crime Commissioner from April 2013 for his office to commission community safety interventions directly. Funding had therefore been mainstreamed through the Councils budget; which gave the authority greater influence on how the money was spent.

 

It was agreed that it was difficult to quantify the true value of the partnership as a lot of its work was early intervention, however the partnership must be able to prove it has a role in crime reduction.

 

As the Partnership focused its work on anti social behaviour, integrated, offender management, crime prevention, road safety, domestic abuse and vulnerable people, it was agreed that the Committee would receive detailed briefings in these areas at future meetings of the Committee.

 

RESOLVED

 

That the Committee receive detailed briefings on the areas of priority for the Safer Cheshire East Partnership.
