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.
To ensure local needs and concerns are addressed, the
partnership has completed extensive consultation to pull together
the key aims for its strategy up to April 2008. 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 want and 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.
