As part of the Safer Streets Summer Initiative, the Neighbourhood Team went out and about in Diss last week alongside colleagues from Norfolk Police and Community Protection.
Over 2 days we visited Stark Close and Willbye Avenue, meeting with tenants and residents to hear your views and understand your concerns.
Operations Manager, Jennifer Hoye and Tenancy Enforcement Specialist, Lee Gartside joined the walkabouts, gathering feedback on how we can work together to make your neighbourhoods safer.
We were able to address issues such as repairs, grounds maintenance, fly tipping and parking. Jennifer said: “It was really nice to hear feedback from the community, with one tenant saying it’s a lovely area to live, and we want to keep it that way.”
The Safer Streets Initiative is led by Police and Crime Commissioners, Chief Constables, and, supported by the Home Office, runs until the end of September 2025. The initiative focuses on reducing town centre crime, shop theft, street crime, and anti-social behaviour across the UK.
Thank you to all who participated, giving valuable feedback and insight – for the greater comfort and wellbeing of all who reside in the area.
