Community Safety



Your Council works in partnership with other agencies to reduce crime and disorder and improve community safety across the District. By working together we will ensure South Holland is a safe and enjoyable place to live, work and visit.  We are all committed to developing and promoting South Holland as a thriving, living and working rural community in order to improve the quality of life for all residents in South Holland and encourage the sense of pride in the District.

The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 established Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRPs). The purpose of the Partnership is to reduce crime and the fear of crime and improve community trust and confidence.

Our partners include Lincolnshire Police, Lincolnshire County Council, the Clinical Commissioning Groups (formerly Primary Care Trusts), Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue and Lincolnshire Probation Trust.

For more information please contact: Claire Court, Community Safety Officer via email (ccourt@sholland.gov.uk) or by telephone on 01775 761161 ext 4572.


In response to local issues, the East Lincolnshire Community Safety Partnership Plan (2013-16)  has been published.

The East Lincolnshire Community Safety Partnership aims to create local solutions to local problems to tackle issues of crime and disorder and improve the quality of life for people living, working or visiting the area.

It is a statutory partnership made up of the following organisations:

Ø Boston Borough, East Lindsey and South Holland District Councils

Ø Lincolnshire County Council

Ø Lincolnshire Police

Ø Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue

Ø Lincolnshire Probation Trust

Ø Clinical Commissioning Groups

Our aims:

Ø Reduce violence and abuse, and the fear of it

Ø Improve relations between local residents and migrant communities

Ø Create safer, cleaner and more welcoming neighbourhoods and public places

Ø Increase the feeling of safety amongst communities

The East Lincolnshire CSP must carry out a yearly assessment of the levels of crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour in the local area. The partnership must then produce a partnership plan which sets out the priorities and how these will be tackled.

Our Current Priorities:

Ø Anti-Social Behaviour

Ø Violent Crime (including Domestic Abuse)

Ø Community Cohesion

We will also address fear of crime and alcohol misuse throughout the above priorities.

Your Council works closely with ADDACTION to tackle drug problems and drug related crime and with Children's Services and the Youth Offending Service to tackle anti-social behaviour and engage young people in diversionary activities.

Throughout the three year life of the partnership plan (2013-2016) there will be continuous monitoring and evaluation. Currently, the overall incidence of crime and disorder within the district is low.

Domestic Violence in the UK is all too common. Over two women per week are killed by current or ex-partners and one in four women in will experience domestic violence in their lifetime –

On 25 November 2010, to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the coalition government launched a paper outlining their ambition and guiding principles to tackle violence against women and girls.
