Agenda item

Community Safety in the Dearne (Dac.30.07.2018/4)

Minutes:

The Community Safety Team Leader for the area was welcomed to the meeting to speak to the report.  It was noted that the report contained information wider than the Dearne area, which aimed to provide some context.

 

Members noted the PACT priorities from April-June, which provided the proactive focus in addition to reactive work.

 

The meeting heard of the recent focus on fly-tipping.  Progress has been made with vehicles seized and a number of prosecutions.   Strongly worded letters had been distributed to many households, which suggested clearing the area would be preferable to prosecution.  It was noted that officers worked with colleagues in other boroughs to try to combat cross border tipping, and a number of high quality cameras were placed in the area to help capture evidence of perpetrators.

 

Members applauded the work undertaken and it was suggested that this could be publicised more widely, taking care that the right messages were given.

 

RESOLVED that the report be noted.
