The Â鶹¸ßÇå and Bute’s Â鶹¸ßÇå Safety Partnership Co-ordinating and Tasking Group
Â鶹¸ßÇå and Bute is a safe place to live in and visit and has a low crime rate. There are, nevertheless, issues which impact on community safety.
Localised problems of disorder, anti-social behaviour and vandalism occur in urban centres and are usually related to alcohol and sometimes drugs.
Road and Water safety affects the whole of Â鶹¸ßÇå and Bute and Â鶹¸ßÇå Safety Partners have an important role to play in promoting and developing a culture of safety on the roads and water.
Partnership Structure and Responsibilities: The Partners
- Partners are drawn from organisations involved in the delivery of Outcome 6: People Live in Safer and Stronger Communities and related community safety activities.
- Partners also link into other partnerships and networks with a focus on specialised elements of community safety as part of their day to day activities and bring this knowledge to the forum
- A list of the organisations involved can be found on page 4 of the Â鶹¸ßÇå Safety Strategy 2021 -2023
The Â鶹¸ßÇå and Bute’s Â鶹¸ßÇå Safety Partnership Co-ordinating and Tasking Group aims to improve the quality of life of residents and visitors to Â鶹¸ßÇå and Bute by reducing risks and protecting them from hazards, threats and the criminal or anti-social behaviour of others.
The Â鶹¸ßÇå and Bute Â鶹¸ßÇå Safety Strategy 2021 - 2023 identifies four priorities based upon a strategic assessment of community safety issues including analysis of data, consultation with partner services and engagement with residents about their concerns. The strategic assessment underpins a problem solving approach to Â鶹¸ßÇå Safety and action which focuses on education and prevention, early intervention and, where appropriate, enforcement measures. The Partnership have agreed on four priorities for the Â鶹¸ßÇå Safety Partnership which are:
- We live in a safe and positive community
- We encourage safer road and water use
- Our natural and built environment is protected
- Our communities are supported and included
