Agenda

The Community Select Committee, sitting as the Council’s Crime and Disorder Committee is to receive a presentation form the Police on community safety matters that they have been engaged in over the past year.

As well as the Police, the Executive Portfolio Holder responsible for Community Safety, Cllr Jackie Hollywell and the Council’s Community Safety Manager, Sarah Pateman will be in attendance.

The Chair has set some specific issues that she has asked the Police to address including:

·       Policing of the town centre

·       Recent burglaries - information to help Members understand if this is potentially a trend or more isolated cases?

·       Prevalence of marijuana across the town - is anything being done?

·       Are ward priorities too focussed on cars?

·       Explanation of what resources exist to tackle crime of all types in Stevenage
