The ÂìÒϸ£Àûµ¼º½ and Bute’s ÂìÒϸ£Àûµ¼º½ Safety Partnership Co-ordinating and Tasking Group
ÂìÒϸ£Àûµ¼º½ and Bute is a safe place to live in and visit and has a low crime rate. There are, nevertheless, issues which impact on community safety.
Localised problems of disorder, anti-social behaviour and vandalism occur in urban centres and are usually related to alcohol and sometimes drugs.
Road and Water safety affects the whole of ÂìÒϸ£Àûµ¼º½ and Bute and ÂìÒϸ£Àûµ¼º½ Safety Partners have an important role to play in promoting and developing a culture of safety on the roads and water.
Partnership Structure and Responsibilities: The Partners
- Partners are drawn from organisations involved in the delivery of Outcome 6: People Live in Safer and Stronger Communities and related community safety activities.
- Partners also link into other partnerships and networks with a focus on specialised elements of community safety as part of their day to day activities and bring this knowledge to the forum
- A list of the organisations involved can be found on page 4 of the ÂìÒϸ£Àûµ¼º½ Safety Strategy 2021 -2023
The ÂìÒϸ£Àûµ¼º½ and Bute’s ÂìÒϸ£Àûµ¼º½ Safety Partnership Co-ordinating and Tasking Group aims to improve the quality of life of residents and visitors to ÂìÒϸ£Àûµ¼º½ and Bute by reducing risks and protecting them from hazards, threats and the criminal or anti-social behaviour of others.
The ÂìÒϸ£Àûµ¼º½ and Bute ÂìÒϸ£Àûµ¼º½ Safety Strategy 2021 - 2023 identifies four priorities based upon a strategic assessment of community safety issues including analysis of data, consultation with partner services and engagement with residents about their concerns. The strategic assessment underpins a problem solving approach to ÂìÒϸ£Àûµ¼º½ Safety and action which focuses on education and prevention, early intervention and, where appropriate, enforcement measures. The Partnership have agreed on four priorities for the ÂìÒϸ£Àûµ¼º½ Safety Partnership which are:
- We live in a safe and positive community
- We encourage safer road and water use
- Our natural and built environment is protected
- Our communities are supported and included
The ÂìÒϸ£Àûµ¼º½ Safety Partnership, Co-ordinating and Tasking Group meetings are conducted once per quarter, for further information contact communitysafety@argyll-bute.gov.uk
