Play Your Part in making Mid Suffolk safer

Mid Suffolk District Council is encouraging everyone to ‘play your part’ in making Mid Suffolk safer.

Mid Suffolk is a safe place to live with low crime levels, but people’s quality of life can be affected by community safety problems such as speeding cars, vandalism, graffiti, dog-fouling, litter, fly-tipping, abandoned cars, noise nuisance, potholes, faulty street lights and rogue traders

The District Council is working together with County and Borough councils, Police Safer Neighbourhood Teams, Neighbourhood Watch volunteers and local residents to improve community safety, tackle anti-social behaviour and bring down crime.

Mid Suffolk District Council utilised the Play Your Part DVD training package, offerred by Suffolk County Council, to show how our own and partners’, staff and councillors can play their part by reporting community safety problems they come across in the course of their work, so they can be resolved early.

The District Council already supports a wide range of projects to improve community safety such as speed warnings, campaigns against under age drinking, home security and diversionary activities for young people.
