Community Safety

Our Vision: 

'Making Bassetlaw, Newark and Sherwood a safer, stronger and welcoming place for ALL to live, work and visit'

The Partnership reflects the police boundaries and enables partners to combine resources, which allows more effective problem solving across the two districts. The Government requires certain statutory bodies to work together to improve Community Safety in a local area. Agencies legally bound to work in this way include Local Authorities, the Police, the Fire and Rescue Service and the Primary Care Trust. Other agencies like those working in the Criminal Justice System, local businesses and the community voluntary sector are also viewed as essential contributors for sustainable crime and disorder reduction.

• Bassetlaw District Council,

• Newark and Sherwood District Council,

• Nottinghamshire PCT NHS Trust,

• Bassetlaw PCT,
