The makeover includes a new logo and trendy new user friendly website – www.saferarun.co.uk - which features the latest crime news, projects, community safety information, views from local residents and information about how people can get involved in making a difference in their community. It also features pages for young people giving advice and tips about what to do if they are in trouble and how to avoid becoming victims of crime, as well as information about mobile phone safety and cyberbulling.
The Partnership works to make the district a safer place for everyone. Its membership includes representatives from Arun District Council, West Sussex County Council, Sussex Police, West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, NHS West Sussex, Sussex Probation Trust, Sussex Police Authority as well as Arun’s communities.
Recent successes have included high profile weeks of action, community clean ups, the launch of Arun Angels in Bognor Regis, Dogwatch in Littlehampton and the Adopt and Alleyway scheme across the district as well providing funding for community activities and campaigns. Lamppost banners in Littlehampton and Bognor Regis are up for the month of April advertising the new site.
Arun District Council’s Cabinet Member for Community Safety, Councillor Roger Elkins, said: “This is a fresh look for a group committed to dealing with the issues that most affect our communities.
“We know from research that a lot of people did not know about the Arun Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership and its work. We hope that this fresh new approach will raise the profile of the Partnership, its work in our communities and encourage more people to get involved with us.
“Our new website – www.saferarun.co.uk – has been designed to be user friendly and engaging featuring all local community safety news and crime prevention advice.
“The Safer Arun Partnership depends on people working with us and we want to hear from our communities. The new website features two special areas, one where residents can give their views about their area and one where people can put their questions to members of the Partnership.
“We hope that our new look will help us take our message to all quarters of the community.”
Arun’s District Police Commander, Chief Inspector Jim Bartlett added: “The changing of our name from the Arun Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership to the Safer Arun Partnership will make no difference to the
excellent work our organisation does.
“I am excited that we are launching a new website to coincide with the name change as it is important we keep residents up to date with our work.
“I believe the new name and the new website make our aim even clearer – to keep the people of Arun safe. “
