Fundamental Review of Community Safety
Decision:
137/2006 The Cabinet agreed that the roles of
Medway Warden and Community Safety Street Team Officer be combined.
These officers will be geographically based in teams that map
directly onto the police geographical neighbourhood structure with
separate tasking by each organisation, but close sharing of
intelligence and coordinated problem solving. Routine highways
inspections, waste contract monitoring, litter and environmental
crime and parking will be undertaken by existing staff dedicated to
these functions.
138/2006 The Cabinet agreed that a suitable title be given to the
officers detailed above in order that it is clear and easily
understood by the public.
139/2006 The Cabinet agreed that parking enforcement activities are
separated from those of ward based community safety as their
deployment is very different, and placed under the management of
the traffic and parking service.
140/2006 The Cabinet supported, in relation to decisions 137/2005
and 139/2005, the reorganisation and noted that the Director of
Regeneration and Development will undertake it under delegated
authority.
141/2006 The Cabinet noted that the park rangers will remain under
the management of Green Spaces.
142/2006 The Cabinet agreed that a performance monitoring and
management regime is put in place within the Community Safety and
the frontline task force to reflect the needs of the relevant
targets contained within Corporate Performance Assessment, PSA2 and
BVPI, as set out in Appendix C to the report.
