Decision:

Decision taken

Cabinet noted the report and agreed the 4 recommendations set out in the report

 

Reason for decision

 

This scrutiny area was selected by OSC members because there was an interest in understanding the extent of youth ASB and violence in the borough and what provision, facilities and support there was in place for young people. It was recognised that whilst not the direct responsibility of the council, the council via the Community Safety Partnership has a key role with partners in addressing this matter.

Minutes:

Cabinet received a report on the Task & Finish Group on Youth ASB & Violence

 

During the discussion the following points were raised:

·         The Council’s partners were thanked for the work they do.
