Consideration was given to a report on the possibility of a merger taking place between the Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRP) for the Bromsgrove, Redditch and Wyre Forest Local Authority areas to form a North Worcestershire CDRP. The report indicated some of the benefits and efficiencies of such a merger. Following discussion it was

RECOMMENDED that the creation of a CDRP to cover North Worcestershire  through the merger of the Bromsgrove CRDP with Redditch and Wyre Forest CDRPs be supported, subject to robust consultation and engagement with the appropriate Authorities taking place and to any additional financial implications which may arise in the short to medium term being met.
