Welcome to the Cherwell Safer Communities Partnership website
Everyone has the right to feel safe - community safety schemes aim to reduce crime and the fear of intimidation. Find out more about how Cherwell District Council is working to help make Cherwell a safer place to live, work and visit.
Crime in Cherwell is falling; we have the lowest recorded rates of crime for more than a decade. Here in Cherwell we are living in a very safe district where the chance of being a victim of crime is very small.
Despite the low crime rate we recognise that the public perception of crime is disproportionate to actual crime ratings. In recognising this gap between reality and perception we intend to bring you more information on what we are doing and what is actually happening in your neighbourhood on a more accessible and regular basis. This will allow you to make your own mind up and where necessary challenge us to deliver more.
This Community Safety Strategy for Cherwell 2011-2014 will provide the platform for our Safer Communities team and our partners to deliver the priority pledges we have made to achieve the Cherwell vision of:
-
A Safe and Healthy Cherwell
-
Making Cherwell a safer place to live
