How do we make it even safer? It is very clear that prevention is vital. • We will never cure the drug problems just by tackling supply, we also need to reduce demand by helping people give up drugs. • Our third sector partners, working with people with drink problems, whilst they are in hospital and supporting them when they come out, are reducing the demand on the blue light services and A&E, and this will literally save lives. • Diversionary activities for young people reduces anti-social behaviour. • Locking our sheds and securing our doors and windows reduces burglary. Agencies working together can achieve far more than by working in isolation. We now have Local Tactical Hubs, in Kendal and Barrow. A wide range of agencies meet to discuss those difficult problems that no one agency can solve on its own. Early results from this are very promising. The South Community Safety Partnership working together and with your help, will make South Cumbria feel, and be, even safer.
