Report of the Town Clerk.

Members received a report of the Town Clerk which provided a context for the draft Safer City Partnership Strategy for 2019-22, currently under development by the Safer City Partnership (SCP).  Members noted that, at the time of submission, a number of requested changes and additions were being incorporated into the plan.  It was intended that the final version would be approved by the Safer City Partnership on 20 May 2019 and Members’ comments and views were invited. 

The officer advised that many of the discussions from today’s meeting would be captured in the workstreams below the Strategy and an additional resource was in place to co-ordinate the work. The officer advised that the reference to begging and rough sleeping, in the context of anti-social behaviour, would be tweaked to ensure it was factual and not perception-based. Members noted that the Licensing Team were contributing to the Strategy in terms of the night-time economy and the new Alcohol Strategy.  Finally, Members were assured that, in line with other City of London Corporation Policies and Strategies, the document would be reviewed regularly. 

RESOLVED, that – the report be noted.
