Organisers of an operation to tackle issues of arson and anti-social behaviour in Daventry are now celebrating the project’s second anniversary.
Operation Unite is run by members of the Daventry District and South Northamptonshire Community Safety Partnership, who include Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) and Northamptonshire Police as well as Daventry District Council and Daventry Town Council.
The operation aims to reduce fire setting and cut anti-social behaviour, reduce issues with rubbish and waste accumulations, give fire prevention advice and work to create a safer environment for all.
Norman James, Watch Manager at Daventry Fire Station, said: “Operation Unite was intended to be one day of action in which multiple partners came together to address issues surrounding deliberate fires in the Daventry area.
“Since then it has grown into a partnership working to help in some of the many social issues affecting communities in Daventry, including everything from educating young people in schools, to speaking to local business owners and community groups, promoting social cohesion.”
