| The Crime and Disorder audit for the Isles of Scilly is shortly to
be published. This document is the result of recently introduced Legislation
which places the duty upon the Islands’ Council and the Police to work
in partnership in the cause of crime reduction.
Consultation has taken place with the community to ascertain the main
areas of concern relating to crime and disorder and these have been identified
within the audit document.
As expected, when compared with mainland districts, the Isles of Scilly
has a relatively crime-free environment. The danger, of course, is that
this leads to complacency and a reduction in standards. The partners have
therefore created a proposed strategy for addressing the main areas of
concern and this is included in the document for further consultation with
the community.
The discussion document will be circulated to groups and organisations
on the island and will be available for all members of the public to view
at the Town Hall and Library. Any organisation that does not receive a
copy of the document (including minority and focus groups) are asked to
contact William Thomas, the Council’s Community Safety Officer at the Town
Hall. |
