Minutes:

Cabinet were asked to consider and endorse the content of the refreshed Community Safety Plan and recommend to Council for approval.

 

Members considered the alternative option of declining to endorse the new Plan, but this was not recommended as it would result in priorities relevant to Ashfield not being appropriately addressed and delivered and it would not meet current statutory requirements.

 

RESOLVED that

a)    the positive work undertaken by the Community Safety Partnership over the past three years be noted and the new Community Safety Plan for 2024-2027, as presented by approved;

 

b)    the proposed priorities in the Community Safety Plan, be agreed;

 

c)    the Executive Director for Place, in consultation with the Executive Lead Member for Community Safety and Crime Reduction and the Ashfield Community Safety Partnership, be requested to prepare an action plan to implement the Plan’s priorities;

 

d)    the new Community Safety Plan for 2024-2027 and the accompanying action plan, be recommended to Council for approval by 31 May 2024.

 

Reasons:

1.    The refreshed Plan builds on the previous Community Safety Plan containing refreshed priorities and how they need to be developed to meet current demands.

 

2.    The new Plan has been formulated using an evidence-based process to agree the new priorities, drawing on analysis of partnership crime and community safety data and the outcomes of a public consultation to capture the views of key stakeholders and residents across Ashfield.
