Community Reassurance
Bexley Council has approved its 2026-2030 Community Safety Strategy, prioritising community reassurance alongside crime reduction efforts.
Bexley Council approved its Community Safety Strategy for 2026-2030 in April 2026. This plan, developed with partners including the police and fire brigade, aims to enhance safety and tackle crime. It prioritises four key areas: Anti-Social Behaviour, Serious Violence, Domestic Abuse, and community reassurance, which involves actions to alleviate public concerns and build trust.
The strategy's focus on community reassurance stems from the 2025 Joint Strategic Assessment, which identified key risk areas for Bexley and highlighted the importance of public confidence. No further council meetings are currently scheduled to discuss this topic.
