05 July 2009Dunton Green residents can help set out their community priorities at a consultation exercise next month.
A Partners and Communities Together (PACT) consultation exercise will take place at Dunton Green Primary School on Wednesday 5 March between 6.30pm and 8.30pm.
Any residents can attend and let the Sevenoaks District Community Safety Partnership, who are organising the event, know what is important to them in their local area by taking part in the consultation, which should take no longer than 30 minutes.
PACT is a new initiative to enable the community to help determine local priorities and get involved in local action. Residents can raise local issues and concerns through PACT panels and workshops with community representatives.
Robin Hales, Chairman of the Sevenoaks District Council Community Safety Partnership, says: “As a Partnership we are always looking at ways of making people feel safer, and an effective way of doing this is by working with local residents in their communities, so we can find out any concerns specific to the area. The consultation should only take 20 to 30 minutes, and could make a big difference in the future.”
The event has been organised by the Sevenoaks District Community Safety Partnership which brings together all the agencies in the District that can have an impact on crime, anti-social behaviour and the fear of crime.
The Partnership includes Kent Police, Kent County Council, the Youth Offending Service, the Primary Care Trust, representatives of the Voluntary Sector, West Kent Housing Association, Moat Housing, Kent Fire & Rescue Service, the National Probation Service and Sevenoaks District Council.
