Current Priorities
Issue
Upper Valley Priorities Ward Areas : Hebden Bridge, Sowerby Bridge, Todmorden, Mytholmroyd and Ryburn.
- Road safety across throughout the upper valley, with a focus on Todmorden
We will do this through targeted Road Safety work deployments, working with partners to inform & educate communities and enforce road safety legislation. This will include SID and Pro-Laser deployments, and proactive work to identify and prosecute unsafe use of the road network.
- Crime prevention and target hardening in Calder Ward
We will do this as part of the Calderdale Darker Nights operation, through crime prevention engagement activities and messaging in communities, at contact points, and by using crime data to identify areas which may be most at risk from acquisitive crime and conducting proactive patrols in those areas.
- Raise awareness of the risks of moorlands fires
We will do this working in Partnership with WYFRS and Calderdale council to raise awareness of the Moorland PSPO and taking appropriate enforcement action to prevent risk of Moorland Fire and risk to public
Issue
Lower Valley New Priorities Ward Area: Brighouse, Hipperholme and Lightcliffe, Northowram, Greetland and Stainland, Elland and Rastrick.
- Road safety across the LV with a particular focus in Brighouse, Greetland and Stainland
We will do this through targeted Road Safety work deployments, working with partners to inform & educate communities and enforce road safety legislation. This will include SID and Pro-Laser deployments, and proactive work to identify and prosecute unsafe use of the road network.
- Anti-Social Behaviour - Elland
We will do this through a partnership approach to increased awareness of anti-social behaviour reporting methods, identify repeat victims and perpetrators of anti-social behaviour, and educate young people of the impact of ASB.
We will adopt a problem-solving approach to locations/victims and perpetrators of ASB to prevent escalation and repeat. We will work with housing providers and support services to ensure all appropriate safeguarding and support is in place.
