Safer Streets

The City Council and Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner worked alongside each other in a partnership funding bid known as Safer Streets. Over half a million pounds has been funded to invest in key areas of Gloucester to improve safety in public places. This project was based on the prevention work within the city centre featuring the “Violence Against Women and Girls” programme, and is primarily based in Gloucester Park.

With some additional funding sourced, and match funding from Council and partners, the total investment for our city was over £870,000. The bid was for new movable CCTV as well as new LED lighting in and around the Park. This was to highlight the park walkways in an attempt to eliminate crime, highlight the war memorial and pick out other features such as the old fountains. Most of this work has been completed and is being used and enjoyed by residents. £1 million invested in the county

This was a Gloucester specific bid. A countywide bid was also successful which means in total over £1 million has been invested across the county from the Safer Streets fund from the Home Office. Funds in Gloucester were spent on: • 18 new CCTV cameras which are hardwired to the police force control room for continual monitoring. Most of these are around the perimeter of Gloucester Park and behind the cricket club, with two at Napier Park in Barton and one at Sinope Street car park. • Four CCTV camera improvements to upgrade analogue to fully digital cameras. • Lighting around Gloucester Park, including the skate park area, war memorial entrance, behind Gloucester Cricket Club (a key commuting route) and throughout Gloucester Park. Lights are also being installed at Napier Park. • A further £55,000 was spent on movable CCTV cameras, which will be located around Barton in hotspot areas. • £25,000 funded additional outreach work at Nelson Trust to work with vulnerable women. • £25,000 funded a community engagement role and a community activity fund to get Gloucester Park and the area around Napier Park and Sinope Street used for positive activities or those which will help make the area safer. These improvements make Gloucester a safer place for everyone.
