Agenda item

The Panel considered a report of the PCVC which provided an update on performance against the Police, Crime and Victim’s Plan 2018-2021 (for copy see file of Minutes).

Councillor Boyes referred to paragraph 36 of the report which showed that only 50% of residents considered that the police and council were dealing with anti-social behaviour issues.  There appeared to be an increasing number of young people re-offending and a stubborn ‘hard-core’ of offenders for whom current strategies did not appear to be working.  Mr Cooke agreed with Councillor Boyes, adding that the removal of funding to youth and community centres needed addressing.

The Chairman informed the Panel that its comments would be noted and fed back to the PCVC.

Resolved:

That the report be noted.
