CS12: Making Barnet a Safer Place
We will aim to make Barnet a safer place. It is important that we ensure through the management of growth that Barnet is a place where people from different communities get on together. We will:
- work with our partners to tackle crime, fear of crime and anti-social behaviour;
- work with the Metropolitan Police to provide re-modelling of its estate as a basis for an effective and responsive police service in Barnet;
- work with Her Majesty’s Court Service as it reviews its estate to ensure that it best meets needs for modern court facilities;
- support the work of neighbourhood policing teams to make our neighbourhoods safer places to live in, work in and visit;
- encourage appropriate security and community safety measures in buildings, spaces and the transport system;
- require developers to demonstrate that they have incorporated design principles which contribute to community safety and security in all new development;
- ensure that through the town centre strategy programme we promote safer and more secure town centre environments; and
- promote safer streets and public areas including open spaces.
