The Commonplace Safer Spaces Hub helps the
GMCA, and Local Authority Partners, to know what people think about
crime and perceptions of safety in a specific location.
It also allows for a virtual conversation to take place between
residents and the local Community Safety Partnership in regards to
what residents would you like public services to focus on and what
more we could do to keep communities and neighbourhoods safe.
Use of this Hub builds on the quarterly GM Police and Crime survey,
allowing us to understand better where there are areas of concern
in respect of public safety. It also will support the work of the
GMCA and partners outlined in the Gender Based Violence strategy,
as we build our understand of where acts of anti-social behaviour,
intimidation, misogyny and harassment take place and the severity
of these incidents.
The Deputy Mayor will directly fund the
purchase of a GM Safer Spaces Licence for the Commonplace Safer
Spaces Hub, including the Community heatmap, for a 12 month period
at a cost of £7,500
