Minutes:
Maggie Rae, Corporate Director of Public Health and Wellbeing, and Inspector Steve Cox of Wiltshire Police, both gave presentations on the Wiltshire Community Safety Partnership and the Anti-Social Behaviour Reduction Strategy.
Following the presentations, Councillor Peter Colmer facilitated a series of workshops where participants were asked to identify what constituted anti-social behaviour, what could be done to improve it and what agencies were available to provide help.
The first workshop identified the following types of anti-social behaviour as priorities:
· Vehicle nuisance
· Noise
· Criminal damage (to play areas/bus shelters)
· Environmental damage (litter/fly-tipping)
· Discrimination towards young people
· Crack houses
· Graffiti
· Bonfires
· Barking dogs
· Nuisance
· Graffiti
The second workshop looked at the issues in greater detail, particularly what could be done in local communities to address the issues, and what agencies could potentially offer assistance.
The Chairman thanked Maggie Rae and Inspector Cox for their presentations and involvement in the sessions, and also Councillor Colmer for facilitating the workshops. The results of the workshops would be brought to the next Area Board meeting, together with a comprehensive action plan for addressing the main issues that were identified.
