Community Safety Partnership Plan 2020/21 A presentation will be provided to members.
Supporting documents: Minutes: Mrs Jess Harman, Community Safety Specialist, along with Inspector Andrew Brittenden from Kent Police, showed a presentation on the work that the Community Safety Partnership and Unit carries out. The presentation is attached to these minutes.
Overall, members were extremely grateful and thanked the Partnership for the services they deliver within the district.
Members asked, at a parish level, what they could be involved with or promote. It was suggested that since the roll out of the Covid-19 test and trace programme, all business are required to display QR codes, and it would be helpful if Parish councils could encourage this at a local level.
Other points noted by members were:
· The CSP and CSU cover the whole district, however concentration of work is more likely to be in Folkestone · Engagement meetings are a good way of providing information and the CSU will look at any problem areas upon request. · Covid-19 Marshalls to help ensure social distancing rules. Funding for these is not available at present and details are still awaited. · Napier Barracks. It was confirmed that there will be police involvement required. Community engagement and residents’ safety is paramount. Members were reminded of the virtual meeting to address questions on Friday 25 September at 3pm. |
