Tackling crime in the capital.
That’s what a new Douglas Corporation initiative is aiming to achieve.
Yesterday (Tuesday) councillors teamed up with the police, representatives of government departments and the private sector at an all-day workshop to assess the possibility of setting up a crime disorder reduction partnership.
Inspector Ken Kneale (pictured) says there are many benefits in such a multi-agency approach:
Met Office issues coastal overtopping warning
Next two high tides expected to impact coastal areas
Questions raised about airport's safety and workplace culture
Government defends facility amid claims of cultural and operational issues
Garff Commissioners introduces street light scheme to be more 'proactive'
Local Authority says replacements can cost up to £800
Douglas Council purchases seven EVs for 'fleet renewal' programme
The local authority says these are replacing 'ageing' diesel vehicles
