Today, Rachel Tucker our Senior Anti Social Behaviour Officer met with Suffolk Constabulary’s East Area Commander, Chris Hinitt, to discuss anti-social behaviour and how East Suffolk Council can continue to work closely with partners through the approach.
They visited Sam’s Café, formerly run by Access Community Trust, which is due to reopen in mid-June as a Community Interest Company. It will provide an important community and wellbeing space, led by Tracey McFee, Hub Manager.

They also met with some of our team colleagues based at the DWP offices on Clapham Road, Lowestoft, including Sue Medley senior community officer from our Community Help Hub team, to explain the support available. The team provides a supported access model, helping residents build confidence, reduce isolation, and access services such as housing, employment, and financial support.

There are already strong partnerships in place with local police and the town centre's Mike Soanes. Recent activity in town centre has focused on addressing youth-related , with a number of fixed penalty notices that have been issued under the updated PSPO.

A really positive day highlighting the strength of and our shared commitment to safer, stronger communities.
