Crime Prevention
In 1998 the Government gave local authorities and other bodies a
mandate to tackle crime and disorder issues in their communities,
with new powers to make a difference in each district. Safer
Ryedale is the body formed to draw agencies together to
address crime and anti social activity locally.
This community partnership looks at local crime and
disorder figures to monitor trends and identify local problems. It
also keeps in touch with what local people want to see happen in
their street, village and town.
Safer Ryedale has now been working as a partnership for 10
years and having just completed its three year priority plan,
is still working into the future to make Ryedale an even safer
place to be. Safer Ryedale combines the resources, support
and vision of more than 25 agencies and local groups, ranging from
the Police and Ryedale District Council to bodies from the
voluntary sector. This gives it an excellent over-view of
what Ryedale people wantand the expertise to provide solutions to
local problems.
Safer Ryedale is already working towards sustaining and
building welcoming neighbourhoods, where community spirit is
vibrant and mutual trust exists between residents and the bodies
that exist to support and serve them.
