What we will focus on to achieve this ambition

• Supporting the Community Safety Partnership’s work and encouraging our main partnerships to build community safety into their action plans (for example, by tackling safety issues relating to transport).

• Taking a wide view of how to build safer communities, including road safety, home safety and fire safety.

•  Recognising that strong communities where people from different backgrounds mix well lie at the heart of what makes safe and strong neighbourhoods, and that local people play an important role in working with the police and others to create safer neighbourhoods.

• Continuing to tackle vehicle crime and burglaries.

• Tackling antisocial behaviour and improving the appearance of streets to reduce the fear of crime.

• Making sure that environmental improvements and projects are also safe for people and property.

• Working positively and in a preventative way with young people to avoid their involvement in youth crime and disorder.
