Issue - meetings

Committee considered a detailed report in relation to the Community Safety Partnership Deliberate Fires Group.

As part of the overall Structure of Bolsover Community Safety Partnership, one of its key Statutory Partners was Derbyshire Fire and Rescue.

All CSP partners worked together on numerous areas of Community Safety to

ensure that BDC’s residents, businesses, and visitors were best protected, and the aim was no different when it came to the effects of fires. As a result, a Deliberate Fires Subgroup had been set up in 2011.

The group worked to a specific term of reference and was made up of statutory and non-statutory partners, with the specific aim of reducing all risks associated with fire within the home, and public and business space.

In response to a Member’s query, the CSP Community Safety Officer advised

Members that he attended parish meetings at least once per year to discuss any issues in their areas. This was arranged via parish clerks and the Community Safety Officer.

The CSP Community Safety Officer also advised Members that he could request data from the Fire Officer for their areas, and Members could also find data on the Derbyshire Fire and Rescue website by entering their postcode.

A Member noted the report was a very good report and was pleased to see

Bolsover in the national picture.

Members thanked the CSP Community Safety Officer for attending the meeting.

The formal part of the meeting concluded at 1130 hours and Members then met as a working party to continue their review work. The working party concluded at 12:45 hours.
