To consider the report of the Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport seeking approval for an updated and amended Safe City Strategy 2017-2020, attached.

The report of the Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport was submitted seeking approval of the Safe City Strategy 2017 2020.

Council noted that in relation to paragraph 3 of the report wording had been omitted from the text therefore the re-worded paragraph was noted as follows:

The Community Safety Strategic Assessment 2016 identified that Hampshire Constabulary recorded a 19% increase in recorded crime in 2015/16. However, the rise in reported crime is largely driven by crime data integrity improvements by Hampshire Constabulary following an HMIC audit in 2014. This is the first full year of the new recording practices and hence, this latest increase is not unexpected.

RESOLVED that the Safe City Strategy 2017-2020 be approved.
