“Not in My Neighbourhood Week”, which runs from Monday 2 to Friday 6 November 2009 aims to promote what is being done locally to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour and encourages the police, public services and communities to work together to keep our streets safe.
Resident organisations, Neighbourhood Watch, and a range of local agencies from across Coventry are leading the efforts to inform local people of what is being done in their area.
Cabinet member for Neighbourhoods and Community Safety, Cllr Andrew Williams said:
“We can only tackle crime and anti-social behaviour by working together and that’s what Not in My Neighbourhood Week is about.
“An enormous amount of work is being done every day to make communities safer and when people see this for themselves, it in turn makes them feel safer and encourages them to get involved.”
In over 80 areas across England and Wales, local residents can get involved in activity that is being taken in their neighbourhoods to tackle crime and disorder.
Examples in Coventry will include:
• The Community Safety Partnership bus located in different neighbourhoods providing support, advice, reassurance and information
• Multi-agency Street Briefings taking place across the city
• Multi-agency Walkabouts taking place across the city
• A range of prevention work in relation to fireworks/bonfires
• Work in schools across the city
• Community Clean Ups across the city
• A number of high visibility patrols in hotspot areas
• An operation to deal with the problem of untaxed cars
• Enforcement work in relation to drugs
• Operations to tackle Anti Social Behaviour/Criminal Damage
• Test Purchasing and licensing operations/Task Force visits
• A number of open days and events in parks and other
• Open Spaces
• A personal safety event
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY:
The first location for the Community Safety Partnership bus will be the COOP on Remembrance Rd, next to the Haggard Community Centre in Willenhall from 1000 to 1400 on Monday 2nd Nov.
Martin Reeves, Chair of the Coventry Community Safety Partnership and Chief Executive of Coventry City Council, together with Council Leader, Cllr Ken Taylor and the recently announced new Local Policing Unit Commander for Coventry, Steve Glover, will be available for a photo opportunity at 1pm at the above location
In addition, the following are a number of activities which maybe of interest to the media across the week
• For 11 Million Takeover Day on 6th November (Young people being given opportunities to takeover in the adult world (http://www.11million.org.uk/)) it has been decided that each Police Operational Command Unit in Coventry will gather 3 young people, aged 13-14yrs who will identify relevant Anti-Social Behaviour areas.
The Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPT's) will take the young people to these locations with digital cameras on 6 Nov (11 Million Day) and they will take images of issues of concern to them; they will build these into a mini presentation for a community safety orientated partnership meeting on 20 Nov. The young people will also think about what sort of action is needed to improve the situation as they find it and they will influence the recommendations are put into the final version of the report from the meeting on 20 Nov. Partners will pay for lunches for the young people involved in taking photos on 6th - to help them engage and support their building of an effective relationship. Partners will also pay for lunch after the meeting on 20 Nov.
• Day in the life of a Noise Abatement Officer via Coventry City Council's Environmental health Dept.
• Automatic Number Plate recognition (ANPR). Being able to witness drivers being pulled over with a view to catching criminals rather than targeting the public generally.
