To comment on the draft strategic assessment and make recommendations to the Safer Cheshire East Partnership

The Committee considered a report of the Community Safety Manager relating to the strategic assessment of the Safer Cheshire East Partnership (formerly CDRP). Each Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP) was required by law to produce an annual strategic assessment which was a survey of crime and disorder levels and trends over the past year (and up to three years). The strategic assessment was used for planning future Partnership activity as part of a three year rolling annual plan to reduce the levels of crime and disorder and their impact on the community.

The partnership had focussed on the broader strategic themes to identify the areas where deeper partnership and multi-agency working could ‘add value’ to the partners’ core business.

Two broad themes were evident from the analysis. The first was the need to maintain operational activity and processes that had successfully reduced crime across Cheshire East over the last three years. The second was to develop approaches to crime and disorder that had the most impact on people, and which most concerned them. Therefore an emphasis would be placed on the strategic management of crime and disorder in Borough’s towns and in those neighbourhoods that sufferered most.

Tthe committee highlighted the key priority relating to  NI 47 concerning the number of people killed or seriously injured in road traffic accidents.

RESOLVED –  (a) That the report be received

                            (b) That a representative of the Safer Cheshire East Partnership be invited to the next meeting of the Committee to present more details about the partnership’s response to NI 47 relating to road safety.
