In introducing the report, the Director of Housing and Property Services noted that a representative from Neighbourhood Policing was due to attend but unfortunately was called away at the last minute.
It was reported that Local Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs) were introduced by Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and brought together local partners to formulate and deliver strategies within their communities to tackle crime and disorder. The Safer North Tyneside Board was responsible for ensuring there were local strategies in place to: Reduce crime and disorder (including anti-social and other behaviour adversely affecting the local environment), Combat the misuse of drugs, alcohol, and other substances, Reduce re-offending; and Prevent people from becoming involved in serious violence and reducing instances of serious violence.
The Safer North Tyneside Partnership was a statutory body and made up of statutory partners including North Tyneside Council, Northumbria Police, and North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board and Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, and monitored actions delivered through its various subgroups including the Anti-Social Behaviour Strategy Group (ASB).
