            The Board received an update from Mark Antrobus on behalf of the Anti- Social Behaviour (Community Safety Team) on the following areas:-

·                     The ASB Strategy 2016-2019;

·                     The Partnership Processes – Information Sharing and Problem Solving    Groups;

·                     ASB interventions (Tools and Powers); and

·                     The positive work that they are doing in partnership with the Police,            Council, Registered Social Landlords (incl. Private), Mental Health Services, Youth Offending, Education etc to make Halton safer.

            Arising from the discussion Board members queried the high increase in the crime figures for Halton and was advised that this was due to a change in the way crime figures were recorded. This had resulted in an increase in crime figures nationally.

1.    the report be noted; and

2.    the Board thanked Mark Antrobus for his detailed presentation.
