Community Safety

A Labour Council will work in partnership with GM Police to deploy visible neighbourhood policing across our communities.

We will work with the police and local residents’ groups to launch and expand community speed-watch initiatives across the borough, with residents taking a lead in policing speeds in their streets.

To work with Neighbourhood Watch and Community Alliances to coordinate and progress this pledge.  Vision Zero Road Safety Strategy will assist with this.

We want to strengthen and expand neighbourhood watch schemes, including actively promoting new ones where there are geographical gaps.

We support effective policing of all anti-social behaviour. We believe one of the solutions to anti-social behaviour carried out by young people lies in further investment in our current youth outreach programmes and seeking financial support from the police and other agencies. New outreach programmes will be created where there are geographical gaps.    

Pledge to be progressed in the future
