Councillor Karen Lucioni   Ryde Monktonmead Ward

 

Last year I reported  that, “One of my key passions is public safety and I have continued to work on the Ryde  world café on violence and anti-social behaviour with residents and partners to create social change and enterprise which will  help Ryde become a safer place for all”. Going on from that work I was really privileged to be recognised for my work and made the cabinet member for public protection, regulatory services and waste May 2022.

 

Have been working hard throughout the year with all the teams overseen by my portfolio, delving into how processes and policies work and alongside those teams making sure the Alliance corporate plan is at the heart of it.

 

I am a member of the Police and crime panel holding the police and crime commissioner to account, also I am on the board of the safer and stronger board for the local government association (LGA) so am able to have a very strong voice on policing, national security and community resilience.  I am committed in-making sure Ryde police stations front desk is opened.  

 

 

I am also on the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire Authority making sure the island fire service is properly funded and we are getting our share, we have had a lot of investment here and will carry on making sure we continue to.

 

Waste services is another passion of mine, the waste plant is a really jewel in our crown, generating energy straight back to the national grid, a new reclamation yard is fast becoming a reality and is really at the heart of reuse, reduce, recycle. We are a great island of recyclers and would be wonderful to be the best in Britain!  Continue to recycle as much as possible.

 

Community safety, my focus is on Anti-social behaviour and I am working with communities on this and hope to have a project in place very soon to tackle this that the public is at the heart of…. More to follow.
