Minutes:

The Assistant Director, Neighbourhoods, Safety & Transport introduced the report of the Director of Neighbourhood Services which provided information in relation to community safety. The report encompassed community safety delivered by the Council and partner organisations in Wirral. The Assistant Director, Neighbourhoods, Safety and Transport detailed the three areas the report covered which were Violence, Acquisitive Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour

 

In response to a Member query, it was reported that help points had been put in place in areas where there was a high risk of violence, particularly against women and girls and that calls went through to a control room where operators could see the caller on cameras and speak with them to offer help and advice.

 

Following a discussion on the provision of youth spaces and services, it was reported that the community safety partnership had representatives from youth services who vocalised the need for these spaces. The Assistant Director, Neighbourhoods, Safety and Transport outlined that there were a lot of fantastic activities available across the Wirral but there were a core of younger people that these weren’t right for and that the Council needed to find ways to engage them.

 

Resolved – That the content of the report be noted.
