  • APPENDIX ONE How the Council, Police and Social Landlords
    APPENDIX ONE How the Council, Police and Social Landlords promote the reporting of incidents of drug dealing, drug taking and related ASB in communal spaces and communicate the outcome of this reporting Scrutiny Report London Borough of Tower Hamlets April 2015 1 Chair’s Foreword Month after month, Tower Hamlets appears second in the list of London boroughs with the highest rate of reported anti-social behaviour (ASB). The casework belonging to councillors often reflects this. The police along with the council and social landlords have a duty to work in partnership to resolve this persistent problem. Feedback from the various agencies involved suggests that the local partnership model is working. However, residents and councillors often report that this multi-agency approach can sometimes lead to confusion. For example, some residents’ notice boards in the borough can have three different posters explaining the routes available to report anti-social behaviour. The reporting of ASB becomes more confusing when this behaviour is caused by drug abuse because of the crossover into criminal activity. Residents are also often unsure which agency is the first port of call. Even though the scope of this work was to look into the reporting of drug related ASB, the review focused on how ASB overall is reported, including how the outcome of this reporting is then communicated to residents. Since many cite that they have not been updated on the actions taken by agencies, nor have any knowledge of how problems have been resolved. The review makes six recommendations to improve partnership working in Tower Hamlets with the aim to reduce this confusion.

    St Peter’s Church, Formby Review of the Ten Commonwealth War Graves in the Graveyard Prepared to mark the VE Day Celebrations 08-10 May 2020 Introduction This review has been prepared to commemorate the ten graves in the graveyard that meet the published criteria of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) which honours the 1.7 million men and women who died in the armed forces of the British Empire during the First and Second World Wars, and ensures they will never be forgotten. The CWGC work began with building, and now maintaining, cemeteries and memorials at 23,000 locations in more than 150 countries and territories and managing the official casualty database archives for their member nations. The CWGC core principles, articulated in their Royal Charter in 1917, are as relevant now as they were over a hundred years ago: • Each of the Commonwealth dead should be commemorated by name on a headstone or memorial • Headstones and memorials should be permanent • Headstones should be uniform • There should be equality of treatment for the war dead irrespective of rank or religion. CWGC are responsible for the commemoration of: • Personnel who died between 04 August 1914 and 31 August 1921; and between 03 September 1939 and 31 December 1947 whilst serving in a Commonwealth military force or specified auxiliary organisation. • Personnel who died between 04 August 1914 and 31 August 1921; and between 03 September 1939 and 31 December 1947 after they were discharged from a Commonwealth military force, if their death was caused by their wartime service. • Commonwealth civilians who died between 03 September 1939 and 31 December 1947 as a consequence of enemy action, Allied weapons of war or whilst in an enemy prison camp.

  • South Gloucestershire Council Conservative Group
    COUNCIL SIZE SUBMISSION South Gloucestershire South Gloucestershire Council Conservative Group. February 2017 Overview of South Gloucestershire 1. South Gloucestershire is an affluent unitary authority on the North and East fringe of Bristol. South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) was formed in 1996 following the dissolution of Avon County Council and the merger of Northavon District and Kingswood Borough Councils. 2. South Gloucestershire has around 274,700 residents, 62% of which live in the immediate urban fringes of Bristol in areas including Kingswood, Filton, Staple Hill, Downend, Warmley and Bradley Stoke. 18% live in the market towns of Thornbury, Yate, and Chipping Sodbury. The remaining 20% live in rural Gloucestershire villages such as Marshfield, Pucklechurch, Hawkesbury Upton, Oldbury‐ on‐Severn, Alveston, and Charfield. 3. South Gloucestershire has lower than average unemployment (3.3% against an England average of 4.8% as of 2016), earns above average wages (average weekly full time wage of £574.20 against England average of £544.70), and has above average house prices (£235,000 against England average of £218,000)1. Deprivation 4. Despite high employment and economic outputs, there are pockets of deprivation in South Gloucestershire. Some communities suffer from low income, unemployment, social isolation, poor housing, low educational achievement, degraded environment, access to health services, or higher levels of crime than other neighbourhoods. These forms of deprivation are often linked and the relationship between them is so strong that we have identified 5 Priority Neighbourhoods which are categorised by the national Indices of Deprivation as amongst the 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in England and Wales. These are Cadbury Heath, Kingswood, Patchway, Staple Hill, and west and south Yate/Dodington.
