Community Safety

A partnership approach is taken when working to reduce crime and disorder, anti-social behaviour, drugs and alcohol misuse and anti-social behaviour that has an adverse impact upon the environment within the Borough of Eastleigh.  The Eastleigh Community Safety Partnership has responsibility for tackling such issues and is led by a Strategic Steering Group.  The Group comprises representatives of the following agencies and organisations:

• Eastleigh Borough Council
• Hampshire Constabulary
• Hampshire County Council
• Hampshire Primary Health Care Trust
• Hampshire Fire and Rescue Authority
• Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service
• One Community - Eastleigh (Community Services)
• Hampshire Probation Trust
• Hampshire Police Authority
• Wessex Youth Offending Team
• Hampshire Drug and Alcohol Action Team 
• First Wessex Housing Association

Eastleigh Borough Council also host and maintain the Eastleigh and Romsey Neighbourhood Watch website

Each community safety partnership in England and Wales is required by statute to undertake an annual strategic assessment of crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour that has occurred within its area.  This assessment is used to assist in the development of the community safety plan for the area, in this case the area covering the borough of Eastleigh.

• Read the Strategic Assessment doc

Each community safety partnership in England and Wales is required by statute to produce a community safety plan.  This plan has to identify actions designed to tackle issues of crime, disorder, anti-social behaviour, drug and alcohol misuse and anti-social behaviour impacting adversely on the environment.  The plan is also required to identify partnership activity designed to reduce re-offending.  The Eastleigh Community Safety Plan identifies anti-social behaviour, violent crime, acquisitive crime and public reassurance as its key priorities.

• Community Safety Plan doc

During the latter part of 2007 a strategic assessment of all aspects of Community Safety in the Borough of Eastleigh was carried out. From this was developed a Community Safety Partnership Plan for 2008 to 2011. This plan will be refreshed annually by strategic assessments that will ensure that issues of concern to the local community will be addressed.
