A collaborative community effort to reduce injury and accidents across all walks of life in our region. Marlborough District Council takes this issue seriously and is committed to an active role. This initiative creates a framework for local communities to address injury and incidents through the building of local partnerships. Safe and Sound does not duplicate or replace the activities that Council and other organisations are already undertaking. This project is a whole of community approach to a safer community and is consistent with the vision of the Marlborough District Council that is: “a community where people enjoy personal safety and security and are free from victimisation, abuse, violence and avoidable injury.”
