Decision

RESOLVED that:
 
A   
The Council seeks to take proactive steps to tackle
the ‘hot spots’ the Police identified for harassment,
and consideration be given to putting these locations in the public
domain.

 
B   
Additional ‘softer’ measures to chart
progress in tackling domestic violence (i.e., in addition to
conviction rates) be developed.

 
C   
Agreements between relevant local authorities in
supporting those who have escaped domestic violence to return to
their home authority are formalised, where this is considered
appropriate.
