Fear of crime and the lack of public reassurance can seriously affect quality of life and Community Safety Partnerships have a key co-ordinating and leadership role in increasing public reassurance. Fear of crime is often generated by people's day to day experience of anti-social behaviour and environmental problems such as litter, graffiti, abandoned vehicles and neglected buildings.  Charnwood continues to be a relatively safe place to live and the challenge for this Partnership is to ensure people are confident that crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour is be tackled effectively at both the individual and neighbourhood levels.

Aim

• Contribute to improved public confidence that crime and disorder is being addressed effectively
• Engage with residents and local representatives, particularly in our priority neighbourhoods, to understand local concerns and seek feasible solutions.
• Engage the press and public in the fight against crime and disorder
• Ensure prompt and appropriate responses to community concerns that impact on confidence
• Promote the positive work of the partnership and its successes
