Principles met

In April 2019, following concerns raised in Southwick (ward within Sunderland) by local councillors, a multi-agency partnership was created. City Partners agreed to a targeted piece of place-based work across 12 streets in the Southwick ward area. An action plan was developed focusing on education, prevention and enforcement. Community engagement needed to be a strong part of the plan, as Sunderland Council were concerned that residents had lost confidence in reporting issues to services, or indeed knowing who to report to.

Sunderland Council and their partners also acknowledged that there was a range of other factors affecting the community and neighbourhood.

  • Anti-social behaviour and crime
  • Unemployment
  • Low Income
  • Poor housing standards
  • Health issues
