At the Crime & Disorder Overview and Scrutiny Commitee several items of current work were discussed. We received an update on the work of the Knife Crime Topic Group, who had recently made a visit to another London borough. The committee also looked at a report on the management of known sex offenders in Havering - it is hoped the police will attend the committee to give more background in the context of the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) system. (The input of the police, and that of other outside bodies, to the commitee, on a variety of topics, is excellent.)
We also had an update on the Night Time Economy Topic Group (I
previously posted details of an evening we spent in Romford) and the news that Havering Council has been
awarded beacon status for the "After Dark" category by the Improvement and Development Agency. (The
Beacon Scheme identifies authorities that are an example for others for a particular theme.)
