Decision details

Cabinet considered the annual Community Safety Group report from the Director of Adults’ Health and Care.

In introducing the report it was highlighted that the Group, which is led by the County Council and incorporates a number of partners, meets on a regular basis. Its overarching aim is to make Hampshire safer and it achieves this through a focus on specific issues and the high level co-ordination of response.

Cabinet welcomed the update and discussed in particular actions being taken to reduce drug abuse and drug related violence and work to tackle violence against women. It was noted that responsibility for addressing anti-social behaviour was with local crime and disorder partnerships, but was reported up to the county-wide group in order that patterns and causation could be considered.

The recommendations in the report were considered and agreed. A decision record is attached to these minutes.
