Minutes: 133.1 Councillor Derek Davis introduced the report to the Committee outlining that he had been appointed as Chairman of the WSCSP in December 2021 and thanked the previous Chairman of the partnership Councillor Joanna Spicer. Additionally, Councillor Davis highlighted the work of the partnership over the previous year including the work that had been undertaken on Modern Slavery, the new Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy (VAWG), and the progress that had been made by the partnership in relation to anti-social behaviour.
133.2 Councillor Sarah Mansel, Vice Chairman of the WSCSP, detailed that the domestic abuse figures for the partnership had been higher than the national average at 19%, and that this was a priority area for the WSCSP focused on prevention and support for victims.
133.3 The Corporate Manager – Communities defined the committee’s role in relation to the WSCSP and highlighted the partnership’s key priorities.
133.4 Members queried the recent addition of CCTV cameras in Hadleigh and Sudbury and how effective these had been. The Corporate Manager – Communities responded that whilst it was too early to see the effectiveness, the installation had led to 43 arrests.
133.5 Members questioned what the geographical area of the partnership was. Councillor Derek Davis responded that the partnership covered Babergh, Mid Suffolk, and West Suffolk District Councils.
133.6 Councillor Scarff queried the Responsible Car Wash Scheme and if the status of the business would stay the same under a change of ownership. Superintendent Wratten responded that neighbourhood teams would be aware of the scheme and would report changes.

Superintendent Wratten responded that there had been an increase in violence, but that these figures had gone down during the pandemic.

However, she was also aware that generally anti-social behaviour was under reported and therefore this was a main focus area, as it could lead to more violent crime.
133.9 Councillor Caston queried how the agenda for the WSCSP was set. The Corporate Manager for Communities responded that SCC lead on this and that they consulted each council in the partnership to see what the main issues were in that area, additionally police data had also been used.
133.10 Councillor Welham queried whether the Safe Places Scheme was a priority for the partnership. Superintendent Wratten responded that there was a need for the scheme, however there needed to be an evaluation to make sure ... view the full minutes text for item 133.
