Safer Streets
A total of £42 million has been allocated through Round Five of the Safer Streets Fund to tackle neighbourhood crime, violence against women and girls and antisocial behaviour.
Since the Safer Streets Fund launched in 2020, the government has invested £125 million through four rounds of the Safer Streets Fund, and the Safety of Women at Night Fund across England and Wales. Round Five was launched on 6 July 2023.
The funding will go towards measures proven to prevent neighbourhood crime, including the roll out of additional CCTV, street lighting, alleygating and improving the security of properties at risk of neighbourhood crime based on needs assessment for burglary hotspot areas and remote locations.
Other interventions will be aimed at changing attitudes and behaviours in relation to violence against women and girls in the public domain through educational activities and behavioural change programmes. The focus will also be on the night-time economy and working with local businesses to keep women safe and raise awareness of violence against women and girls in local pubs and bars.
