Councillor Sue Fennimore noted that following the recent anniversary of Sarah Everard’s murder, the Council’s thoughts and warm wishes went out to her family and to all victims of abuse against women and girls. She stated that this report was creating a large amount of new support to the new Violence Against Women And Girls Strategy, to keep them safe. This had been fully consulted upon with partners and residents.

The Leader thanked Councillor Fennimore for leading on this strategy and stressed that violence against women and girls was totally unacceptable. This strategy established the Council’s zero tolerance against this type of violence.

AGREED UNANIMOUSLY BY THE CABINET MEMBERS PRESENT:
