Investment in a situational acquisitive crime reduction project as a requirement of the award of the Home Office Safer Streets Fund 2
The use of Bristol City Council funds has
attracted significant additional funding through the Home Office
Grant. This additional investment in the city will enable delivery
of an acquisitive crime reduction project to be undertaken in the
areas of St Pauls and Portland Square. The area is currently home
to approximately 1200 residential properties and is a well-used
pedestrianised area for residents to access shopping areas and
services. The intervention planned includes a variety of
situational crime prevention initiatives such as installation of
CCTV cameras, improved bicycle storage solutions, target hardening,
improved community and neighbourhood watch initiatives.
Implementation of these initiatives will serve to reduce
acquisitive crime, reduce the fear of crime, and grow the power of
these communities from within. The location for investment has been
identified through analysis of crime data and engagement with
partners and community groups.
