Theme 2: Safe Neighbourhoods

Some of the reasons why this theme is important to us are:

Residents in Thanet do not feel as safe at night as residents in other Kent districts;
Crimes at night have fallen compared to last year but remain high compared to the rest of Kent;
Thanet has the highest levels of domestic abuse in Kent. This impacts on other services including housing, social services and education;
Over the last 12 months Thanet had the highest levels of criminal damage in the whole of Kent;
Local residents say that tackling anti-social behaviour in the area they live is a high priority.
