New Maps Addition
Joined Up
The Carlisle & Eden Crime and Reduction Partnership (CDRP)
Maps unit has now been joined by Victim Support Cumbria. This is
part of a sustained and concerted effort to deal with anti-social
behaviour and the victims of crime in North Cumbria.
It is widely recognised that anti-social behaviour destroys
lives and has a damaging effect on communities where the community
is already fragile. Anti-social behaviour can take many forms
including, noise, using and selling drugs, alcohol and solvent
abuse, prostitution, verbal abuse, intimidating gatherings in
public places, harassment, damage to property, nuisance from
vehicles, and fly tipping to name a few. To make a positive change
contact the above numbers to find out how victim support can help
you.
If you are a victim of anti-social behaviour there are people
out there that can help simply contact the MAPS unit on
01228 817366 for the Carlisle Area or
01768 899934 for the Eden area to find out
more.
Who are victim support?
They are a national charity, which helps the victims of crime.
Trained volunteers from the organisation provide free, confidential
support and information following crime ranging from anti-social
behaviour to murder, designed to help you help yourself.
Mary Robinson Chair of Carlisle & Eden CDRP said:
The addition of Victim Support to the joint team
is part of the CDRP's determination to continue to work with the
local residents to support improvements to the quality of life for
people living in Carlisle and Eden. It is the mindless few that are
contributing to the erosion of the quality of life and we are
resolute that we will deal with them.
Cllr Judy Prest portfolio holder for Health and Wellbeing
said:
This is a great example of multi agency working,
where a variety of services have come together to deal with an
issue that affects a wide range of people from all walks of life.
Anti-Social Behaviour is a blight on all our communities and needs
to be dealt with robustly. Anti-social Behaviour is something the
new unit will focus on and helping to make Carlisle a Cleaner,
Greener and Safer place for all residents to live and work in.
