What do Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs) do?

The responsible authorities work together to develop and implement strategies to protect their local communities from crime and to help people feel safe.

They work out local approaches to deal with issues including antisocial behaviour, drug or alcohol misuse and re-offending as well as crime and disorder.

They also work with others who have a key role, including community groups, schools and registered local landlords.

In October 2021 the Partnership asked residents, businesses etc what their experience and issues were relating to crime in their area through a survey.
