We were awarded Beacon status for effective partnership working in 2004. Throughout the year we held a number of sessions and two seminars to promote the best practice that earned us this award. In 2005 the IdeA asked us to work with them to provide a Peer Mentoring service to other local authorities across the country. We have completed three such reviews in Wyre Borough Council, Rochdale Borough Council and Leicester City Council.

We need to achieve the targets set within the Community Safety Plan 2008/2011. The target for other Theft is an emerging issues target identified by the Partnership's Strategic Assesment, the other five targets were identified by the public.
