The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make it her policy to publish a community safety strategy.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

The Government’s Safer Streets Mission led by the Home and Plan for Change commitments set out a whole-system approach to reduce serious harm and restore public confidence in policing and the criminal justice system. Central to this is our ambitions to strengthen neighbourhood policing; tackling anti-social behaviour and making town centres safer and more secure; and halving violence against women and girls and knife crime within a decade.
