Ampthill Community Safety

Issues raised at the last Meeting of Ampthill’s Community Safety Forum

If you would like to work with the Community Safety Partnership to tackle any of the issues that have been discussed at the forum please contact Dave Rollings, Community Safety Officer, MBDC on 01462 611225 or by e-mail david.rollings@midbeds.gov.uk

This new and exciting initiative is being developed by Mid Beds District Council, as part of the Council’s commitment to Mid Beds Community Safety Partnership. The District Council is a key stakeholder in this partnership, along with the Police, the Fire & Rescue Service, the Primary Care Trust, Aragon Housing Association and Beds Youth Offending Service.

This new Community Safety Forum will bring all these partners together at quarterly meetings and has the potential to find sustainable solutions to the wide range of community safety issues that impact on the quality of life of people throughout Ampthill and district. Residents in Ampthill, Millbrook, Clophill and Maulden will have the opportunity to be involved, participate and have a voice in shaping and supporting community safety improvements across the area.

Keep a look out for further information on the venue and date for the launch of the Fora in 2008 – its your opportunity to come along and hear first-hand:

· How crime and anti-social behaviour is being tackled by your local Beat Manager and their team

The Forum has the potential to be a positive means of serving the local community and in providing you with the opportunity to shape, influence and monitor how community safety issues, from unacceptable noise at night to under age drinking can be tackled.
