Barrowcliff's Gallows Close Centre will play a key role in a new initiative to improve the quality of life for local residents.
A new initiative to improve the quality of life for residents in Barrowcliff will include a new programme aimed at the community's young people.
The Building Barrowcliff Together project will see North Yorkshire Police work with local partners to tackle serious and organised crime on the estate, but it will also involve programmes to benefit other parts of the community as well.
Kimmie Avison from the Gallows Close Centre says the new programme will work with 14 to 19 year olds.
North Yorkshire Police has launched it's Clear, Hold, Build programme on the estate to tackle serious and organised crime.
The first phase will see police activity to clear out people responsible for crime but the later phases will involve delivering community-empowered interventions that tackle the drivers of crime.
Kimmie Avison from the Gallows Close Centre says that's where they will get involved.
As well as North Yorkshire Police, key partners in the project include North Yorkshire Council and the Community Safety Partnership, the Office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for North Yorkshire, and North Yorkshire Horizons Adult Alcohol and Drug Recovery Service.
The initial stage is designed to CLEAR out the people who are responsible for crime and misery through relentless pursuit activity.
The second stage of the initiative is HOLD. This involves interventions, counter-measures and contingency plans to consolidate and stabilise the initial ‘clear phase.
The idea is that this stops the remaining or other organised crime group members from capitalising on the vacuum created by the arrests and outcomes at court.
The final stage is BUILD. This forms a single, whole-system approach to delivering community-empowered interventions that tackle the drivers of crime, exploitation of vulnerabilities, and the places where crime occurs.
The aim is to improve living, working and recreational environment in the community for residents. It empowers them to work with stakeholders to generate resilience and build a safer community.
This includes promoting education and training opportunities aimed at diverting young people away from a life of crime.
