The booklet offers a range of information from community safety issues to drugs, as well as an important numbers section '“ useful for keeping next to the telephone. The booklet even contains useful details of places where children can go to find something to do over the holidays.

"The HDCDRP has already noted a number of successes in lowering the incidence of crime and anti-social behaviour," comments Mike Rumble, Community Safety Manager for the Partnership.

"Crime rates and anti-social behaviour have generally fallen across the District, but we have, with the Home Office, a target of further reducing these by ten per cent over the next three years."
