Issue - meetings

The Executive have been in virtual contact this period, progress has been made on producing a standardised constitution and Agenda for Capes. This is a discussion item on the agenda.

There has been one Gold Group this period shortly after the last meeting.

Sue and I met with Susan Doran the MOPAC liaison to Enfield on the 31^st July. It was a very productive meeting and we were able to atlk about our grant bids and how Enfield’s SNB was functioning.

The funding arrived late September for the 4 grants outlined in the minutes and the projects have started. We should have an informal update for you by the next SNB Board meeting.

I attended the Crime Scrutiny Panel meeting last week. How well the Capes are functioning was on the agenda. I propose that we run again the survey that was previously run but no results were seen. This should assist in ascertaining how well Capes are preforming across the wards.

The Chair asked if anyone who attended the consultation regarding the closure of Enfield Town police station and could provide feedback on the event. There had been a good attendance at the event, but whilst many Cape chairs attended there were not many resident attending. It was explained that the front offices are no longer regularly used and the buildings are very expensive to run. The dedicated Ward Officers will have more mobile equipment. It was unclear about the Highway patrol base but talked about smaller bases nearer the wards.

The consultation has closed and the final strategy was sent out to you earlier this week. Hubs will be put in place but locations could not be confirmed at this time. We must monitor what this means for Enfield

Supt Barnett confirmed that whilst the front counter at Enfield Town will close in December the building itself will be in use while Edmonton is refurbished.

The CCTV Monitoring Station Group is awaiting new dates to be arranged.

The Chair advised that normally we would have guest speakers to the meetings, but as there was a couple of discussion items on the agenda there would not be any at this meeting.

The Executive have not met since the last meeting of the Safer Neighbourhood Board, although they have been working on producing standardised constitutions and agendas for the CAPEs.

Tim Fellows, SNB Chair, has recently joined the Confidence Governance Board which looks into resident’s confidence in the police.

There were no Gold Groups this period which means there were no major incidents requiring the voluntary sector input.

The CCTV Monitoring Station Group has been re-established. Anyone interested should speak to Sheila Stacey who is organising the training and rota for the group.

The DWO for Southgate Ward is trying to re-establish the wards CAPE. Anyone willing to assist with this should contact Tim Fellows.
