Have your say on crime and disorder
Throughout the year you will have read about some of the activities which the council and its partners have organised to target specific areas of crime and disorder in Salford. It's now your chance to think about what we need to do to reduce problems in your neighbourhood.
Since 2008, the proportion of people who think anti-social behaviour is a problem has fallen from 31.5% to 19%.
We know that crime and disorder issues are important to you as they have been highlighted at community committee meetings and in the Big Listening surveys. What issues or problems do you want to see tackled?
Alley gating and property marking has helped reduce crime with 200 fewer burglaries during a six month period in 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.
Every three years, Salford City Council agrees priorities with all the partners involved in community safety, including the police, probation, fire, health and victim support services. The priorities are based on an analysis of data and feedback from communities and people like you.
82% of people say they are satisfied with the service they receive from the police.
The priorities we have identified through analysis of data and community feedback are:
- reduce the level of crime in Salford
- tackle anti-social behaviour
- reduce the harm caused by drugs and alcohol
- help communities feel safer
The police and the council have worked together to help cut vehicle crime by 41%.
In surveys you have told us that anti-social behaviour is of concern to you. In particular:
- rubbish or litter lying around
- teenagers hanging around on the street
- criminal damage such as graffiti to property
Offenders carried out 63,000 hours of unpaid work through the community payback scheme in 2010.
