COLUMN: Community Champions

South Holland remains one of the safest places to live in the county.

Crime rates continue to drop year on year and agencies work hard to ensure you continue to live in a place which is safe.

Being part of a community can really help with your sense of belonging and it’s important that you feel you have a voice to shape local priorities.

One way you can participate in resolving issues which matter to you in your community is by attending your local neighbourhood panel meetings.

The meetings take place once every three months and give residents the opportunity to meet with their local neighbourhood policing teams and other community members to discuss issues which matter to you in your community.

For more information please see the Lincolnshire Police website www.lincs.police.uk

Another way of getting your voice heard is to contact the East Lincolnshire Community Safety Partnership.

This is a body of public agencies who come together to reduce crime and disorder across the east of the county (covering South Holland, Boston and East Lindsey).

This partnership works to improve feelings of safety within local communities.

For more information please visit www.sholland.gov.uk/policing/csp/

For further information on community safety related issues affecting you please contact Community Development via email on [email protected] or on 01775 761161.
