It is the vision of the Community Safety Group to:

“Make Aston a place that is safer, free from the fear of crime, drugs and anti-social behaviour that affects the Aston family”

The vision is being achieved by supporting individuals, groups and services that help to:

• Reduce the level of offending in Aston especially house burglary, street robbery and motor vehicle crime
• Reduce perceptions that youth crime is a problem
• Reduce perceptions that illegal drug use and drug dealing is a problem
• Reduce the fear of crime

The Community, Aston Pride and service partners have helped to make Aston a safer place.
