Police – Andy Fee – sector inspector for Mere and Tisbury

We are set to be the pilot area for the use of the drone. Police Officers would be trained to use this 24/7. The written update details how the force will use this piece of equipment. The drone was recently used to assist the fire service in pinpointing where to direct the hoses on a thatch fire.

In Inspector Sparrow’s patch they had been busy targeting drug issues.

Questions:

·       With regards to the drug dealers’ sentences given out. Could they not be sent back to their country if they were not from the UK? Answer: If those sentenced were not in the UK legally, we could ask for a deportation order.

·       In Salisbury the Neighbourhood Teams were going out on ‘Pulse Patrols’ was this just for Salisbury? Answer: They were taking place in West Wiltshire too.

·       Was there positive feedback from the community messaging? Some recent burglaries in Fovant were not put out on the messaging service. Answer: All of the crime reported and recorded usually did go out on the community messaging system, I will report that back to the Officer.

Fire & Rescue – Darren Nixon Station Manager

Darron noted the written report included in the pack and invited any questions.

Joint Strategic Assessment (JSA) Update – Steve Harris

The ‘Our Community Matters’ event was held on 16 November 2016 at the Nadder Centre in Tisbury. Over 90 members of the public and partner agencies attended and participated in the event, which focused on the data set out in the Community Area Joint Strategic Assessment 2016-17. 

The JSA brings together the results of research conducted by the major agencies and public sector bodies in Wiltshire over the last six months.  The project was initiated by the Wiltshire Health and Wellbeing Board and the Wiltshire Assembly.  These bodies will use the priorities emerging from the events to focus and support strategic projects, activities and services across Wiltshire.

Participants at the events used the datato inform themed roundtable discussions and to identify local priorities underpinned by the research.  All participants had the opportunity to vote on the priorities and the results are set out in this report.  Following agreement on the priorities, the themed roundtables then looked at practical community-led actions that could be taken to address the issues identified.

 The purpose of the event was to:

·       Gain a consensus around priorities for the area

·       Provide the basis for community-led action and projects over the next two years

·       Develop a community plan for the area

·       Provide the Council and partners with a clear focus for local actions

The Area Board adopted these priorities shortly after the event and has since focused on supporting and facilitating local actions to tackle those priorities.

The Board noted the other written updates attached to the agenda.
