Community safety

Community safety is about making places safer for people and addressing local concerns. How safe an area is and feels is affected by a number of factors, not just levels of crime. The levels of noise nuisance people experience, young people hanging around the streets, street cleanliness, graffiti, abandoned vehicles all impact on the feelings of safety in an area.

Together with our partner inspectorates, we will consider all elements of delivering safer communities through our approach to Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA).
