The average number of crimes in this area for July through to September has decreased from 244 to 195.3 (19.9%) (compared to the same three month period last year) Excellent news just released by Dorset Police and referred to in my earlier blog. I think that all partners deserve a jolly good pat on the back because I think that what we are doing is working and all the Safer Neighbourhood Teams deserve...

Once a year I like to revisit actions and initiatives taken as a result of managing this very wide ranging port folio to see if what we are doing is working and therefore making a real contribution to this wonderful community. To start with (2007) Christchurch has always been a very safe place to live but suffered a disproportionate level of the 'fear of crime'. Figures just published show that this...

This was pointed out to me last week when explaining how I was communicating with residents using computers and blogging.We are using the same process to illustrate what we are doing with Homewatch and PACT as well as the Homewatch web site. To this end Purewell and Stanpit ward are ahead of the game but as you can imagine there are always doubters who somehow cannot grasp the fact that computers are...

Claims have recently been made that the PACT meeting structure was initiated by the Christchurch cell of the Liberal party. I can tell you that this is so far from reality that it must have been dreamed up in a parallel universe. The process of PACT and its implementation into CBC wards and the development of SNT'S has been enthusiastically pursued by this Conservative administration following its...

I have blogged before about the increasing concern expressed by residents across the Borough about their perception of speed of traffic. In general this is worse in areas where pedestrian access is limited. In February of this year I wrote to the Chief Executive as Chair of CDRP and reminded him that as this matter was high on the list of concerns on the Crime and Disorder profile for Christchurch...
