Crime Reduction
Street Crime has been reduced by 10% and domestic burglary by 8% as compared with last year.
CCTV has been installed at over 10 new locations.
More street lighting has been put up across the borough.
A community development worker, Sean Newman, has been employed to engage and empower the community against substance misuse.
Young People
Young people's services have been taken out to the community with a mobile youth centre to engage with hard to reach young people.
A theatre-based education project has been delivered to all year 8/9 children, to make them more aware about alcohol misuse.
The majority of people who work with vulnerable young people have been trained to recognise when drugs or alcohol may be an issue for a young person and where they can receive further advice and help.
Treatment
We have dramatically reduced waiting times and increased the capacity of our drug treatment services, so that more people can get treatment for alcohol and drug problems more quickly.
Our needle exchange scheme has been developed and now operates from twelve pharmacies across the borough. This means that people who inject drugs can get clean needles, reducing their risk of getting HIV or other blood-borne diseases and dispose of their used needles safely, meaning less are left on the streets.

Mobile, covert, CCTV is being used in the borough to identify areas of drug misuse, associated crime and anti-social behaviour, and to bring the individuals responsible to justice.
