Question 1
What are you proposing to do to improve the liaison with
other agencies to rationalise and improve enforcement processes?
Background
Viewed from a resident’s perspective there is an ever
growing body of regulation which is either enforce inadequately of not enforced
at all. Examples range from pavement parking and vehicles using roads from
which they are banned to serving drunks and the enforcement of licencing
conditions.
There appear to be two underlying causes of this:
Firstly the creation of regulation with no discussion of how
enforcement will be resourced, this is a particular issue for the police as
policy and regulations tend to assume police enforcement by default.
Secondly there is often a lack of clarity about enforcement
strategy between agencies particularly in the licencing enforcement.
Question 2
What is your position on how CCTV should be developed in the
City and what are you doing to ensure it develops in that way?
Background
CCTV is playing an increasingly important role in the
policing of the City centre particularly at night.
As residents we are concerned that there is continued
investment in the network and in particular key gaps in the provision are addressed.
