PCC - Baroness Newlove Project & Alcohol Awareness - Chelmsford City Council


In Chelmsford the night time economy and the management of it is extremely important.  With a licensed capacity of 15,000 and events held to attract customers from across Essex and North London it is a vibrant place which makes a significant contribution to the local economy. 

However, successful management of the city centre including tackling the all important perception and fear of crime is something that can only be achieved in true partnership.  The short film was the best way of clearly explaining in a succinct and engaging way how the different partners including the emergency services, the Council, outreach workers, street pastors, and the licensed trade all work together to achieve the shared outcome of a safe night out. 

The public may have a perception that the Police are solely responsible for public safety on a night out and we were keen to focus on the key role of local authorities & other organisations, and to show the new Police and Crime Commissioner the strength and benefit of using Community Safety Partnerships to achieve a sustainable outcome that is greater and has more breadth than what one agency can achieve on their own.
