Agenda item

Report of the Community Safety Manager.

[This report was unavailable at the time of agenda publication, and will be circulated separately.]

The Group received a report of the Community Safety Team Manager assessing the Safer City Partnership plan for 2016-17, and also providing a strategic plan for 2017-18.

The Chairman requested an explanation as to why the report was being tabled at the meeting, rather than being submitted in time for publication within the agenda.  The Chairman suggested that as the report is of significant length, and is asking for Members’ approval, it would be more sensible to defer this to the next meeting, on 3 November 2017.  The Deputy Chairman was in agreement.

A Member asked if these would be linked in to combine with the Corporate Strategy.  The Director of Markets and Consumer Protection explained that as the Corporate Strategy would look at 2018 and 2019, whereas this strategy focuses on this year, this would not be appropriate. 

RESOLVED – That this item be deferred to the next meeting on 3 November 2017, and that the Safer Partnership Strategy be developed into a three year strategic plan
