Safe City and Youth Justice Strategy Updates
PDF 65 KBDecision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To consider the report of the Cabinet Member
for Housing and Sustainability seeking approval to update and amend
the existing Safe City and Youth Justice strategies
(2014-2017).
Decision:
To consider and recommend to Council the updated Safe City Strategy and Youth Justice Strategy.
Reasons for the decision:
To ensure that the statutory Safe City and Youth Justice Strategies reflect the latest challenges and opportunities for the city, informed by the Community Safety Strategic Needs Assessment, and that they include a clear and up to date set of actions to make Southampton a safer city for residents and visitors.
Alternative options considered:
An alternative option is to not update the Safe City and Youth Justice Strategies. However, continuing to use a strategy that is outdated would risk the Council not meeting its statutory obligations, and being unable to draw down funding for the Youth Offending Service. In turn, this would impact the Council’s ability to maintain the service.
