NALC introduces new dedicated resource on community safety

We have launched a comprehensive resource to support parish and town councils across England in enhancing community safety. This new website section offers parish and town councils a range of resources on issues critical to local safety, such as addressing emergency and disaster planning and building partnerships with local authorities and police forces.

This new community safety section features specialised resources on anti-terrorism and CCTA, emergency planning, licensing and traffic calming measures, police community support officers and community wardens, speed limit enforcement and reducing dangerous driving. Each section equips parish and town councils with actionable insights and strategies to foster safer communities.

The new web section also features a case study publication illustrating how parish and town councils have successfully enhanced community safety through targeted interventions. These real-world examples include organising local safety events, collaborating with environmental officers, and reducing dangerous driving.

This resource underscores our commitment to empowering parish and town councils to foster stronger, safer communities across England’s diverse parished areas.
