JOIN 'PACT' TODAY!
PACT stands for 'Partners and Communities Together'. These are
regular meetings in each ward across Thanet, which are
attended by Kent Police, Thanet council and
other local officers. Residents are able to go along and speak
openly about anything that they are concerned about in their
community.
What has been achieved though PACT to date?
Northwood
Plans are underway to regenerate Coleman Crescent and a separate
action group has been established from the PACT.
Cliftonville West
Officers have carried out early morning operations to issue
fixed penalty notices to those allowing their dog to foul on the
street and not cleaning up. This action was taken directly from
resident concerns.
Eastcliff and Central Harbour
A tactical delivery group was set up with a variety of
partner agencies following initial involvement with businesses
through their local PACT.
Several PACT panels have applied for funding through the
‘Community Cashback’ initiative, which uses fine money from
offenders. For example, Boundary Park lighting and Ramsgate Skate
Park- things that will really benefit residents.
Many PACT members have gone on to be ‘Community Crime fighters’
and are attending Home Office training sessions in Southampton and
Brighton.
Community Payback have carried out more than 1000 hours, since
January, of projects suggested by residents - for example, Dane
Valley park the alleyway at Stephen’s walk in Ramsgate.
