In 1998 the Government gave local authorities and other bodies a mandate to tackle crime and disorder issues in their communities, with new powers to make a difference in each district. Safer Ryedale is the body formed to draw agencies together to address crime and anti social activity locally. This community partnership has to look at local crime and disorder figures to monitor trends and identify local problems. It also has to keep in touch with what local people want to see happen in their street, village and town. To ensure local needs and concerns are addressed, the partnership has completed extensive consultation to pull together the key aims for its strategy up to April 2008. Safer Ryedale combines the resources, support and vision of more than 25 agencies and local groups, ranging from the Police and Ryedale District Council to bodies from the voluntary sector. This gives it an excellent over-view of what Ryedale people want and the expertise to provide solutions to local problems. Safer Ryedale is already working towards sustaining and building welcoming neighbourhoods, where community spirit is vibrant and mutual trust exists between residents and the bodies that exist to support and serve them.
