A representative of the Corporate Director for People submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing for comment the draft Stockport Antisocial Behaviour Strategy.

The following comments were made/issues raised:-

·         The Stockport Partnership had set a five year strategy to build on strengths and address key challenges. Four priority themes had been adopted which were closely aligned to the Stockport Policing Strategy – protecting vulnerable people, public safety and protection, serious & organised crime and transforming justice.

·         In the 3 years from 2014-2015, there has been a gradual upward trend in the number of ASB incidents recorded by Police in Stockport.

·         The main aim of the strategy was to achieve a reduction in ASB by improving the response to, and systems relating to, ASB in Stockport. It was intended that this approach would further enhance the collaboration between statutory and non-statutory agencies and the voluntary sector.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
