  • A.L.L. S.A.F.E. ALLSAFE ALLSAFE Was Implemented to Combat the Upsurge in Anti Social Behaviour in the Wai Ms Ley Close Area of Accrington
    Lancashire Constabulary The Tilley Award 2003 Category: Partnership A.L.L. S.A.F.E. ALLSAFE ALLSAFE was implemented to combat the upsurge in anti social behaviour in the Wai ms ley Close area of Accrington. Hyndburn Council Community Wardens and CBW have first identified this, which was further evidenced by the rise in the number of Police incidents being reported. A letter drop to 70 residents revealed the main concerns were that the area was run down, insufficient household security, the streets were badly lit, which contributed to a greater "fear of crime' factor. Anti-Social behaviour was rife, they identified that most offenders were congregating around 2 problematic addresses. To combat the problems, ALL-SAFE commenced in September 2002. The Police, Social Services, Wardens, Housing and Maundy Grange Charity joined forces to deal with the 2 addresses and their associate problems, to either re-integrate the occupants or, as eventually occurred, to re-locate them. Juvenile nuisance immediately reduced dramatically. Once the occupants left, so did the problem youths. Fear of crime was tackled by encouraging the charity 'Age Concern' to embrace the project. Funding was obtained resulting in all elderly residents in the area having free security devises installed in their houses (alarms, door locks, chains, window locks.) 'Community E-mail*, was introduced, in order to improve reassurance. Funding for email telephones, installed in homes in the Close, was obtained, and encourages "involvement*. The system was so successful that it was extended throughout Hyndburn. A media campaign promoted our work in the area, and challenged other agencies to get involved.

  • Streetscene Enforcement Policy
    Streetscene Enforcement Policy INTRODUCTION Burnley Burough Council wants to make the Borough a place where the streets and open spaces are clean, safe and well, maintained. Sustainable lifestyles will be promoted which emphasise waste minimisation, recycling and respect for the environment. It is the aim of the Council to protect the public and the environment and promote health, safety and welfare and enhance the quality of life of all residents, workers and visitors to the Borough. This will be achieved by education, providing advice and by regulating the activities of others. Enforcement action will play an important role in helping the Council to secure compliance with regulatory requirements. The Council will work with other regulators, such as the Environment Agency and Central Government to ensure co-ordinated and cohesive regulation. The Council will seek to share good practise and local intelligence with appropriate enforcing bodies. The Council will also work with community and voluntary groups in order to achieve common goals. The Council views prosecution as a last resort and will seek to prevent rather than remediate. The Council will offer information, advice and education in order to secure co-operation, avoiding bureaucracy or excessive cost. The policy will set out what residents, businesses and the community can expect from Streetscene Enforcement Officers. It sets out the general principles, which the Council intends to follow when taking enforcement action. More detailed, operational guidance may be developed for staff in respect of specific functions. The policy commits the Council to good enforcement policies and practises. PURPOSE The purpose of enforcement action is to ensure that preventative or remedial action is taken to protect the public and the environment or to secure compliance with a regulatory system.

  • The Prospects Foundation Annual Report
    THE PROSPECTS FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2016 - 2017 FORWARD FROM THE CHAIRMAN MISSION AND THEMES Next year in December we will be celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Foundation – although The PROSPECTS Foundation is Hyndburn’s community owned environmental charity and we are PROSPECTS as a whole has already passed that milestone. This means we are approaching the time to something of a unique and wonderful organisation. We were established in 1998 by local people and reflect on what we have all achieved together. But there is no time to sit back on our laurels - this year have lots of skills and environmental knowledge which we use and pass on when delivering projects we look forward to continuing the good work. around the Borough. We support a network of PROSPECTS Panels as well as schools and community groups to help them develop their own ideas to improve the environment. In the tumultuous and “interesting” political year we have just seen, the environment, as ever, has been pushed to the back seat. While President Trump rows back on US commitments to combatting climate We focus our work on 6 Themes of Sustainability, which means that our actions are not harmful to change our own Government has signalled its policy of reliance on fossil fuels by consenting fracking the environment, they take account of both local and global issues and positively contribute to the in Lancashire. Globally environmental indicators are not good – habitat loss, species extinction rates, reduction of climate change. Our 6 Themes are: ocean plastic, city air quality, loss of polar ice - you could get discouraged! BIODIVERSITY One interesting reflection though is that experience shows that giving up, just sitting back and expecting protecting and enhancing local wildlife and plant life “them” to come up with solutions is not going to get us very far.
