Community safety partnership

The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 places a statutory duty on the Bridgnorth District Council to work in Partnership with West Mercia Constabulary, The Police Authority, Shropshire County Council, Shropshire Fire and Rescue, Primary Care Trusts and a range of other agencies to reduce crime and promote community in Bridgnorth district. The Bridgnorth District Council is a leading member of Bridgnorth District Community Safety Partnership, which was established following the 1998 Act. Promoting Community Safety is one of Bridgnorth District Council priorities.

In 2004 Bridgnorth District Council took part in a countrywide audit of crime and public consultation exercise, which enabled five crime and disorder priorities to be identified. These are:

Anti Social Behaviour Substance Misuse Drugs Alcohol

Crime against the Person Domestic Violence Violence on the streets Hate crime

Property Crime Domestic burglary Business crime Vehicle crime

Perceptions of crime

Bridgnorth District Council will be working with its partners both locally and countywide to address the identified priorities.
