We have taken a stand to end all male violence against women by becoming a White Ribbon accredited organisation, engaging with boys and men to tackle male violence against women and girls. 

We are committed to ensuring that we provide safe areas for children and families to play, interact and explore. We are encouraging the implementation of Play Streets, which will allow supervised and safe recreational activity on our highways for our communities to enjoy. 

We are committed to effective maintenance of our buildings and assets, such as our roads and pavements, and to ensuring we appropriately regulate businesses and other activities in the borough to keep our residents safe.
