REPORT

To: AND DISTRICT LOCAL Subject: JOINT COMMUNITY SAFETY AREA PARTNERSHIP REPORT

From: HOUSING & SOCIAL WORK SERVICES STRATHCLYDE POLICE STRATHCLYDE FIRE & RESCUE

Date: 19' January 201 1 Ref: JS

1 Introduction

1.1 The purpose of this report is to update members of the Motherwell and District Local Area Partnership on developments with the current joint work taking place between Strathclyde Police, Housing and Social Work Services and Strathclyde Fire and Rescue for the period from September 201 0 to November 201 0.

2 Background

2.1 Under the Government's 'Promoting Positive Outcomes: Working Together to Prevent Anti-social Behaviour in , the National Framework for preventing anti- social behaviour, has allowed the wider public sector to move in the same direction; work together as equal partners and importantly, allow collective contribution from all the public sector partners.

2.2 Tackling antisocial behaviour contributes to all five of the Government's strategic objectives but primarily supports making our communities safer and stronger by focusing on National Outcome 9 ( we live our lives free from crime, disorder and danger) and 11 (we have strong, resilient and supportive communities where people take responsibility for their own actions and how they affect others).

3. Statistical Information

3.1 The report includes information from each of the partners and a ward by ward summary of notable incidents. Appendix 1 shows the Hotspot map for the Motherwell area, Appendix 2 Housing & Social Work Services, Appendix 3 Strathclyde Police and Appendix 4 the Tactical Assessment from Strathclyde Fire & Rescue. Appendix 5 provides an inaugural report from Street Base North who are providing outreach services for young people with potential alcohol and drug abuse issues in the and Wishawhill area.

3.2 With reference to Appendix 2, anti - social statistics throughout the Motherwell area remain static. Ward 16 had issues with youths harassing local residents. These issues are being addressed by community safety partners. The Jerviston area within ward 17 has been more settled of late. The majority of complaints within Ward 18 are noise related because of the high concentration of Tower Blocks.

3.3 Mediation figures have increased significantly since the last report; the team have resolved 2 neighbour disputes in Ward 18 which will prevent the need for further action to be taken, and have provided advice and guidance to 7 disputes across wards and are actively working on 2 cases. decreased since the last report, the team are actively working on 2 cases within ward 16, we are confident if parties come on board with the service that positive outcomes can be achieved. 23 3.4 Mediation and Housing staff continue to carry out information sharing sessions which are proving beneficial. New members of staff have been given training regarding the service which has increased the referral intake for this period.

3.5 Appendix 4 also includes a summary of the Strathclyde Fire & Rescue Service’s Bonfire Campaign 201 0.

4. Ward by Ward Reports

Forgewood

An issue arose in regard to youths involved in disorder and vandalism within both Dinmont and Tulley Wynd areas. The youths involved were identified and joint visits were carried out by Police and Housing to respective households to deliver a robust message and deter further issues.

A household within Dinmont was searched and quantities of controlled drugs were recovered.

Complaints to elected members in regard to two Rottweiller dogs being allowed to roam unsupervised within the rear courts of Dinmont and Road and to fouling a communal close in Dinmont Crescent have been addressed. Since a Breach of Tenancy Warning was issued, the close has remained clean and dogs are now being kept under control.

The everyday issues affecting the area continue to be youths congregating and causing annoyance and complaints of street drinking and general disorder. Numerous persons have been reportedarrested or issued with Fixed Penalty Notices for disorder] vandalism, possession of controlled substances & drinking in public places.

On the morning of 20th October Fire Crews from Motherwell Fire Station attended two separate incidents in Dalriada Crescent] Motherwell. A quantity of furniture had been deliberately placed within a common stairwell and ignited. Strathclyde Police were informed of this potential serious incident and carried out enquiries. Shortly after the second of these incidents Fire Crews carried out “Hot Strikes” in the immediate area, whereby smoke detectors were fitted to those who required them as well as general fire safety advice given.

North Motherwell

Complaints made by a number of persons at elected Members surgeries in regard to the behaviour of youths in the Logans Road area have and are being addressed. A case conference was convened by Community Safety Partners and actions agreed. The youths are discussed monthly at the Youth Offender Group where progress is monitored, updates are provided and relevant information shared between Community Safety Partners. Complainers are contacted on a regular basis and there has been an improvement in behaviour.

Jerviston

This area has had a more settled period although there have been sporadic incidents of vandalism. Three Council tenancies occupied by key participants in Anti Social Behaviour have been re-possessed by Housing. Two of these houses were occupied by families from the ‘Bottom scheme’ and the other from the ‘Top Scheme’.

24 Estate management issues identified have been addressed and there has been a general improvement in the area.

Community Safety partners continue to work together to tackle the ongoing issues in this area. Partnership working combined with the sharing of Intelligence and information is crucial in achieving long term solutions.

Coursington

Complaints about disorder within a household in Coursington Tower are currently being investigated. A Final Warning has been issued and an Anti social Behaviour Order interview has been carried out.

A petition was submitted to the Council and the Police and Housing in regards to complaints of Anti Social Behaviour by named persons, in the general area is being dealt with. A case conference was held by Community Safety Partners and actions agreed which should resolve the issues in question.

Controlled drugs were found within a tenancy in Draffen Tower and a person has been reported for being concerned in the supply of drugs.

Wood Crescent Area

An Estate walkabout with residents group was carried out within this area and the issues raised are being addressed.

Newarthill / Carfin

Complaints of disorder in Newarthill Road have been addressed resulting in a Final warning being issued. A case conference is being arranged with all partner agencies in regard to the household in question.

A house in Vorlich Wynd was subjected to acts of vandalism. The person responsible has been traced, issued with a Breach of Tenancy Warning and an account issued for cost of repair works.

New Stevenston

New Stevenston has enjoyed a settled period with no serious issues.

4.3 Ward 18

Muirhouse / Flemington

Most reports relate to incidents of minor vandalisms, street drinking, disorder and acts of anti-social behaviour, predominantly noise complaints from within the tower blocks.

A tenancy within Grange Tower that was the source of disorder and used as a drinking den has been re-possessed by Housing.

Housing staff witnessed a noisy party and disorder within a tenancy in Dalziel Tower resulting in a Final Warning being issued. The Police attended and the party was dispersed, and arrangements have been made for an ASBO interview to take place.

Watsonville

A Final warning has been issued to a private sector tenancy in Albion Street, and the Landlord informed of the circumstances.

25 Joint visits were carried out by Housing and Police in the Watson Street area following complaints of dogs being allowed to run about unsupervised. One tenant received a verbal warning regarding their dog, and all residents were advised of the services available to assist them.

Craigneuk

A Street Base Programme (Liber8) commenced during this period within the Craigneuk area, to tackle alcohol & substance abuse with young people aged between 10-18 years. Progress and updates are updated at the Community Safety Groups and linked L.A.Ts.

Knowetop / North Lodge

Complaints about dilapidated vehicles kept within the driveway of an NLC tenancy have been resolved after a visit by Housing adviser. The tenant has had the three offending motor vehicles removed and disposed off.

5. Promoting Positive Outcomes

At Community Safety Sub-Group meetings partnership working and joint actions have impacted throughout the Motherwell area resulting in a reduction of crimes, offences and anti social behaviour. Areas identified with emerging problems are highlighted and actions targeted by community partners to tackle same. Community Wardens and Police continue to carry out patrols in identified Hot Spot areas.

Joint action days have taken place on the 28'h & 2gth October and on the 3"' of November 201 0 when Police accompanied by Housing Advisors & Investigators attended at various addresses in all ward areas where anti social behaviour was an issue. The purpose of these visits was to maintain a proactive approach and deliver a joint and robust message to confront persons / households involved in anti social behaviour.

Community Safety partners have worked closely together in regard to the issues that have affected the Jerviston area, and it has been noted that there has been a general improvement within the area.

Housing staff and the Community Police continue to work with our Mediation Team to promote the use of Mediation as an effective way of reducing neighbour conflicts at an early stage.

Motherwell Youth Offender Forum is currently discussing suitable interventions and actions in relation to 5 youth offenders.

Motherwell Fire Station Open Day

Motherwell Fire Station, under the direction of Station Commander McKenna, hosted a highly successful Open Day on Saturday 5* December. The event was supported by many partner agencies including NHS Lanarkshire and Strathclyde Police and on display was the variety of Fire and Rescue vehicles and equipment required for our personnel to carry out a wide range of rescue techniques. Adding to the fun of the event was a choir from Dalziel High School who entertained the general public and partnership staff with a wonderful performance of Christmas Carols. As well as an opportunity to deliver the community safety message from attending agencies, over f 1000 was raised between three worthwhile causes, The Firefighters Charity, St Andrews Hospice and Fir Park School. Strathclyde Fire and Rescue would like to extend their thanks to the very many people who supported this event and to those who attended.

Fire Reach

Pupils from Our Lady's High School Motherwell have recently attended the Fire Reach Course. Fire Reach is a 5 day modular based programme for S3 and S4 pupil referred 26 from their local High School. Based at Coatbridge Fire station the programme introduces key elements of Fire and Rescue training within a safe and disciplined environment. The course is designed to support young people to develop their potential, enhance their self - esteem and, by promoting individual and collective responsibility, encourage them to become responsible citizens

cut It out

Pupils from Our Lady’s High School Motherwell and Braidhurst High School have recently participated in the “Cut it Out” initiative aimed at raising the awareness of road safety amongst S6 pupils who are entering the legal age for driving. Carried out by SFR personnel the programme highlights the consequences of reckless and dangerous driving and promotes safe practice and consideration for all road users.

Home Fire Safety Visits

Over the monitoring period to date 120 homes within the three wards received a free Home Fire Safety Visit.

36 Bonfire Campaign 2010

North Lanarkshire’s Bonfire Campaign followed a template provided by the Community Safety Directorate from Service Headquarters and ran from the 18’ October to the 8‘h November 2010 with comparisons made from the same timescale last year. There were six main elements to this campaign:

a. Use of Media: North Lanarkshire recently held a media day which was attended by around a dozen local media outlets (local papers etc). All of these contacts were approached and asked to run the standard bonfire/fireworks media statement. The statement appeared in various publications and helped to spread the corporate safety message.

b. Partnership Working: In the weeks leading up to bonfire night it was important that partner organisations were engaged and their assistance sought to ensure an appropriate response was forthcoming. In the case of the Police, they assisted in promoting the bonfire safety message and, in relation to acts of violence, offered support to crews in any areas where there was concern. They also enforced the proper sale of fireworks to ensure they did not fall into the wrong hands. North Lanarkshire Council assisted through the identification of secondary fire material build up. The six Tasking and Co- ordinating groups also looked at local issues and worked collectively to ensure that bonfire night went as smoothly and safely as possible.

C. Identification of Problem Areas: North Lanarkshire, like every Area, has some locations which are historically problematic in relation to fire related anti-social behaviour. These were identified in the lead up to bonfire night and engagement processes put in place in those areas. Statistical information from the IRS was utilised along with local knowledge and operational intelligence to provide an informed overview of this type of problem.

d. Engaging with Young People: The vast majority of secondary fires and anti- social behaviour is directly related to young people. North Lanarkshire targeted this group across the Area and visited both primary and secondary schools as well as youth organisations. A large percentage of the schools visited were in areas which have previously had high instances of operational activity .

e. Provision of Advice and Leaflets: Although youth engagement was the priority, it was important that those people who were buying or using fireworks, were given appropriate advice on their safe use. North Lanarkshire’s Community Firefighters and Operational Crews accessed various locations which sold fireworks and provided advice and leaflets to the public.

f. Uplift of Secondary Fire Materials: A robust and bespoke arrangement was put in place between SFR and North Lanarkshire Council’s Environmental Health Department. This involved an emergency 24/7 uplift service which provided SFR with direct access to the uplift service whenever they noticed a build up of materials or inappropriately located bonfires. The council would even attend and remove these materials during the night to avoid inciting anti- social behaviour.

37 The following youth engagements took place within North Lanarkshire: Schools visited: - 35 Children Engaged: - 6,153 Leaf lets/Advice: - 3,178

Other Available Statistical Information: Total Uplifts: - 51 across the North Lanarkshire Area which included unsafe or potentially problematic build ups of secondary fire materials.

Strathclyde Fire & Rescue Activity: There were 2 methods employed here, a direct comparison between 2009 and 2010 during the period of 18 October and 8 November (as instructed) and a 3 year comparison between the 25th October and 7' November (as provided by the CS Directorate).

-2009 -201 0 -%+I- Rubbish Fires: - 128 99 -23%

Heath/Grass Fires: - 9 9 No Change Derelict Building Fires: - 4 4 No change Malicious Calls: - 15 13 -13% Acts of Violence: - 1 1 No Change Total: - 157 126 -20% -2008 --2009 %+I- -2010 o/,% All incidents (NL): - 490 (Base) 354 -28% 290 -39% All Incidents (SFR): - 3412 (Base) 2604 -23% 2250 -34%

Summary: The statistical information from SFR and partner agencies would indicate that the Bonfire Campaign was successful. The total number of secondary fires and anti- social behaviour dropped noticeably and would appear to vindicate the approach employed by SFR and its partners during this period. Over the last 3 years NL has seen a total reduction in activity of 39% which is 5% better than the overall Service reductions. Information provided by the CS Directorate would indicate an average reduction in secondary fires over the 3 year period of 70%. This must be welcomed and the approach employed over this bonfire period will form the basis of future bonfire engagement strategies.

StreetBase North Local Area Partnership Report January 201 1 Motherwell Locality The StreetBase North Project Manager has attended the monthly Motherwell Community Safety Sub Group meetings since September and updated members of ongoing progress of the establishment of detached youth work in Craigneuk and Wishawhill. A summary of progress to date is presented below. Staff were recruited in August and undertook the following training during the month of September:

Introduction to Liber8 Services Alcohol Brief Intervention Alcohol Awareness Substance Misuse Awareness Child Protection/ GIRFEC/GOPR Community Work lntro Detached Youth Work Gangs and Territorialism Breakaway Techniques First Aid

Shadowing / Mapping

New members of staff began shadowing experienced staff throughout South Lanarkshire beginning early October for a period of 4 weeks. They moved into Craigneuk and Wishawhill to begin mapping on week beginning 25‘h October. This exercise lasted around four weeks where contact was made with the main partnerships, community facilities and hotspots were identified and area profiling was carried out. The main findings of this process are summarised below.

Hotspots

Craigneuk - The “Venal Bridge” (Access to the “Wids and Old quarry) Most days 3pm onwards large numbers of young people found gathering. Antisocial behaviour (ASB) arson, alcohol and drugs abuse are common.

The Lane A closed off dead end situated behind two rows of houses. Antisocial behaviour (ASB) arson, alcohol and drugs abuse are common.

The White Bridge situated between Muirhouse and Craigneuk. There are territorial issues between young people of this area and adjoining neighbourhoods.

Briarswood Store Young people hanging around from 5pm onwards.

The Venny Community Centre. This venue has good resources which will be a good location for future “Trading Post” alcohol education workshops. Groups of young people congregate outside the centre on a daily basis.

Wishawhill -The Wishawhill Store Young people found gathering here and also on the grass area adjacent from 5pm onwards.

The “Campsie Gate” Bridge. Connecting Wishawhill to Craigneuk. This is not well lit and staff have been warned to be cautious.

39 The Park (and adjoining football fields) On Roman Road, although staff have not seen young people here to date, Community Police and local residents identify it as a hotspot.

Contacts Made

Scott lsacc Stewart Wright/ Sonia Pitman/ Sean Hanlon CLAD Ella Naughton The Venny Glencassels Community Development Newmains Hammers Boys FC (Gwen) Sidekicks Sharon Gibson(Sports Development for Young people) NLC Partnership

In summary although actual contacts with young people in the area have been fairly low to date, it is thought that this is primarily due to the dark nights and poor weather at this time of year. Good contacts have been made with partner organisations and community facilities and projects.
