Community Safety
Community Safety records show that that in:
2019 - 5 formal complaints
2020 - 5 formal complaints

All complaints were investigated.
The very nature of antisocial behaviour shows that there were also a large number of cases of antisocial behaviour that were dealt with jointly by partner agencies (Police, Housing Services, Registered Social Landlords, East Sussex County Council, Fire Services, Mental Health Trust and Mediation). The Council's Community Safety Team participates in a monthly antisocial behaviour case management conference where there are 3 to 10 cases reviewed monthly. Each agency managing the risk associated with the case, reducing the risk from high to medium and standard. This case management system is managed by Sussex Police, more details can be obtained from the police.
