We will work with the police to confront the most common problems in the borough – shoplifting and theft of and from vehicles.

We will also liaise with residents and the police to understand better both the root causes and the impact of crime and antisocial behaviour, with a view to creating and implementing effective policies for its reduction. We anticipate that this will include looking at access to:

• affordable housing appropriate to needs
• health and social care
• educational and training opportunities
• fairly paid and fulfilling employment
• free or affordable sports and entertainment facilities and activities, and activities covering the arts, humanities and sciences more widely
• parks and other green spaces
