To consider proposals for the business plan, revenue budget estimates, capital programme and proposed fees and charges in respect of the Council’s priority area of Community Safety.

The Committee considered the proposals for the business plan, revenue budget estimates, capital programme and proposed fees and charges in respect of the Council’s priority area of Community Safety. The priorities and objectives for Community Safety were a safe place for everyone by reducing anti-social behaviour (ASB) in Broxtowe, working with partners to reduce violence and improve public safety, and reducing drug and alcohol use. Key lines of enquiry from Members were:

• Setting of targets for reduction of ASB should be against baseline figures.
• The changes in certain licensing charges, with discussion about those that are statutory and those that are discretionary.
• Partnership working with the Police on areas such as serious organised crime and fraud.
• Availability of grant funding in future years.
