SMARTER STREETS
Sutton Community and Police Forum
28 January 2010
Daniel Ratchford, Dan Jones
Introduction
• What do we mean by “Smarter Streets”?
• Some good progress to date:
– financial savings
– Contender
– ‘problem solving meetings’
• ‘Part of a Team that Keeps Sutton Clean’ - a new and helpful focus to this work
• Opportunities for further improvements?
Services on the streets include…
• ‘Streetscene’ issues, currently the responsibility of E&L (incl responding to graffiti, fly-tipping, littering, dog fouling, etc.)
• ‘Enforcement’ functions around parking, waste, planning, and a range of functions within environmental sustainability
• ‘Policing’ issues, currently the responsibility of the SNTs
Services perform well in Sutton
• The INSI data confirms that these are areas of concern to our residents (and the use of INSI itself is innovative)
• These are all highly visible, borough-wide services
• Most are proactive
• Most are highly performing (and some are innovative)
• There is already some excellent partnership working between the teams, departments, and agencies
There are opportunities to improve
• Efficiencies?
• Service improvement?
• Better coordination of work at a neighbourhood level?
• Better engagement with our residents?
• More – or better – enforcement?
Emerging ideas – short term
• Build on current successes, including:
– Contender
– ‘problem solving meetings’
– enforcement and FPN protocols
– ‘Part of the Team…’ campaign
• Make better use of data to support ‘problem solving meetings’ and to determine priorities (from INSI, ward panel, neighbourhood watch)
• Implement some immediate new initiatives in particular problem areas
Emerging ideas – short term
Emerging ideas – medium term
• Develop new resident engagement opportunities – the practical implementation of ‘Part of the Team…’
• Ideas might include:
– ‘Sutton Eyes’ and ‘Young Sutton Eyes’?
– ‘Love Sutton’?
– revamped and republicised enforcement policy
– social networking opportunities?
– better links through schools (and the Life Centre)
– Sutton High Street as a pilot – and focus - area
Emerging ideas – longer term
• Reconsider – and reconfigurate – enforcement powers?
• Consider more radical restructuring options between teams. Options might include:
– bringing together back office functions?
– bringing together middle management?
– bringing together front line teams?
