COMMUNITY SAFETY

Community Safety in Ards is driven by a partnership made up of representatives from Ards Borough Council, the youth sector, PSNI , Ulster Community and Hospitals Trust, NIHE , PBNI, Community Safety Centre, SEELB , Chamber of Trade and Consumer Panel.

This Community Safety Partnership is responsible for taking forward an action plan which aims to reduce crime and the fear of crime across the Ards. The current community safety action plan has four themes, two of which focus on tackling crime and anti-social behaviour in Newtownards town centre and Donaghadee, a third which aims to deal with crime - and the fear of crime - affecting vulnerable adults and a fourth element which will see a specific community safety plan drawn up for the West Winds estate in Newtownards.
