Alignment of Herts Sustainable Community Strategy and LAA2 to Three Rivers Community Strategy

Alignment of Herts Sustainable Community Strategy and LAA2 to Three Rivers Community StrategyIntroduction Officers have reviewed the long and short term actions in the revised draft Hertfordshire Sustainable Community Strategy, as well as the agreed indicators for the Local Area Agreement (2) and identified which of the priorities and cross cutting themes they fit within the Three Rivers Community Strategy. All fit within the priorities and cross cutting themes. Work therefore needs to focus on what gaps and opportunities exist locally to deliver on these areas. The focus of such work is likely to use lower level indicators than those of the LAA. However they will be aligned. Where existing mechanisms exist to deliver on areas these have been listed. Suggestions for new groups to deliver on gaps have also been made. Three Rivers Priority: Anti-social behaviour, crime and fear of crimeHerts Sustainable Community Strategy Long Term Actions: Safer and Stronger Communities:  Reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in our neighbourhoods and town centres  Reduce the fear of crime  Develop cohesive communities  Enable and support a vibrant voluntary and community sector and a range of diverse cultural activities which meets the needs of local people  Encourage communities and individuals to have a greater voice and participate in local decision makingHerts Sustainable Community Strategy Short Term Actions: Safer and Stronger Communities:  Reduce alcohol related crime and disorder in our town centres (especially Watford and Stevenage) and other hotspots, Reducing drug and alcohol abuse through effective policing and expanded rehabilitation facilities to address addiction , particularly: - alcohol abuse in East Herts, Stevenage and Welwyn Hatfield - and smaller local hotspots Measured by: - Ni 40 Number of drug users recorded as being in effective treatment [LAA Target] - NI 16 Serious acquisitive crime rate [LAA Target] Reduce anti-social behaviour and disorder in our neighbourhoods and town centres through co-ordinated action led by the Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRPs) Reduce the fear of crime, particularly with regards to anti-social behaviour and drugs dealing, measured by: - Ni 17 Perceptions of anti-social behaviour [LAA Target] Increase confidence in the Police and Criminal Justice System in the County Reduce repeat domestic violence and better support the victims of domestic violence through co-ordinated multi-agency actions.
