The Council delivers a wide range of services that contribute directly or indirectly to making our communities safer and aims to ensure that community safety is taken into account in all aspects of service delivery.
The Council has a dedicated Community Safety team, whose role is to ensure that the Council meets its statutory responsibilities under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 through promoting Community Safety and reducing the fear of crime in Cheshire.
In particular the Community Safety Team take a coordinating role for the Council in working with partner agencies to develop, implement and monitor Community Safety strategies and plans, and to support and advise Elected Members and other key Council Departments in their work on such issues.
This involves close working with the 6 Community Safety Partnerships (also known as Crime & Disorder Reduction Partnerships – CDRP’s) within the Council’s administrative boundary, namely Chester, Congleton, Crewe & Nantwich, Ellesmere Port & Neston, Macclesfield and Vale Royal.
Community Safety Partnerships have a responsibility to produce an audit of crime and disorder in their area and to consult widely with the public in order to shape the production of a strategy that provides the framework of how agencies will work together to reduce crime and disorder and increase public reassurance.
The common themes that all partnerships have agreed to tackle include:

Have Your Say - Crime and Communities Review
The Prime Minister has commissioned a review into how Authorities engage communities in fighting crime. The aim is to understand how local communities, the police, local authorities, local criminal justice agencies can best work together to reduce crime, to raise community confidence in local agencies and lower the fear of crime. We also want to examine whet makes people get involved in helping tackle problems - reporting crime, giving evidence or being part of a community group to help reduce crime.
