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 (CDRP). The purpose of the Partnership is to reduce crime and the fear of crime and improve community trust and confidence.
