Crime and disorder
Medway Council knows that fear of crime prevents many people,
particularly older people, from doing some of the things which they
might do, such as going out at night. Young people are
similarly concerned about their safety. This is despite the
fact that crime in Medway is actually lower than the England and
Wales average.
Over recent years the Community Safety Partnership has had
successes in bringing down crime, particularly car crime and
burglary. This has been achieved through agencies working together
with local people.
However it is clear that for the people of Medway to feel safer
crimes such as violence, criminal damage and anti-social behaviour
must continue to be dealt with
In the Community Safety Plan the council sets out
how it will achieve this. Its success remains dependent on
everybody in the community playing their part, whether that be
ensuring older neighbours are safe, volunteering to work with young
people or helping to act as the eyes and ears of the police.
Together we can make Medway an even safer place to live and
work.
