Bristol City Council investment in a situational acquisitive crime reduction project as a requirement of the award of the Home Office Safer Streets Fund 1

Bristol City Council has attracted significant funding through the OPCC Grant. This investment in the City, will enable delivery of an acquisitive crime reduction project to be undertaken in the area of Manor Farm in Horfield. The area is currently home to a population of approximately 6500 residents. The intervention planned includes a variety of situational crime prevention initiatives such as installation of CCTV cameras, improved security to residential properties, a fencing scheme, 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 the OPCC’s analysis of crime data.
