A plan of action to reduce crime and disorder across North Northamptonshire will be discussed by Executive Members next week
10 February 2026
Aimed at helping people feel safer in their homes and communities, a three-year plan to reduce crime and disorder will be considered by members at next week’s Executive Briefing.
The 2026 - 29 Community Safety Plan, developed by North Northamptonshire Community Safety Partnership with input from seven Local Area Partnerships, and numerous voluntary organisations, has the five following priorities:
- preventing serious harm from violence, knife crime and exploitation
- protecting and supporting people from domestic abuse, sexual violence and exploitation
- protecting and supporting women and girls
- ensuring our communities are cohesive and stable
- ensuring our neighbourhoods and towns are safer for everyone
The plan also includes a proposal to double its anti-social behaviour case management resource from four to eight officers.
The plan has taken into account the findings from the recent residents' survey undertaken by North Northamptonshire Council. 'Feeling safe in their communities' and 'concerns about anti-social behaviour' were the top issues raised.
It is vital to listen to the concerns of our communities, to address perceptions around the fear of crime and public safety and importantly, to address this. Also, the population of North Northamptonshire is growing, and the Community Safety Partnership must be ready and able to meet the challenges this will present.Cllr Greg Wilcox, North Northamptonshire Council’s Executive Member for Communities
The Community Safety Partnership has a big role to play in community cohesion and resident satisfaction - it is important that we all come together to agree on this plan.
North Northamptonshire Community Safety Partnership includes North Northamptonshire Council and Northamptonshire Children’s Trust, Northamptonshire Police, Northamptonshire Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner, NHS Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board and the Probation service.
Each organisation has its own specialist areas of business, and these will be conducted as a matter of course. The partnership will focus primarily on the additional activities that can be best achieved through joint working.
The plan also details a set of principles and methods by which all partners commit to work, focussing on integrated place-based delivery through the work of our seven Local Area Partnerships, four Place Based Partnerships and our Family Hub Network, and on prevention and early intervention wherever possible. These will ensure that we work with our voluntary and community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector organisations and residents in local communities as equal partners; and seek to provide joined up services to support our residents when they need our help.
Each year, the Community Safety Partnership will publish an annual report to tell residents, businesses and other local leaders how progress is being made on the delivery of the plan.
North Northamptonshire Council’s Executive will meet on Tuesday 17 February at 10am at the Corby Cube and the papers are now available online. The meeting will be livestreamed on YouTube.
