Who is part of that community safety partnership?
Ms Cousins: The council, police, health trust and most of the statutory agencies. The Chairperson: Who chooses the great and the good? Ms Cousins: They choose themselves. Initially we write to the interested organisations and invite them to a local meeting to discuss forming a partnership. At the meeting they decide themselves who should be in the partnership. Ms Lewsley: There is another group connected with Lisburn Borough Council called the “adults at risk” group. It has a multi-agency approach and is seeking funding for a co-ordinator. Will that funding be jeopardised because there is already another project, the two being unaware of each other? Ms Cousins: I cannot comment on the other project, but the mayor currently chairs the community safety partnership in Lisburn. I should therefore hope that those involved would be aware of what was happening. Ms Lewsley: I am a councillor, and I was not aware of that. I am on the other group, where there is a multi- agency approach. Any age
