The first Safer Streets projects to improve safety and security in Balderton have been installed.

The funding is going towards several improvements and initiatives including improved lighting and CCTV, attitude and behaviour change sessions, and raising awareness for reporting antisocial behaviour.

Environmental improvements are also included in the programme and, as part of this the first share of the funding, has gone towards new bins and benches.

The benches have been installed at Coronation Street Park and replacement bins have also been installed there and at Balderton Lake to help reduce littering in the area.

This comes after the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire secured £1million for the Safer Streets 5 project via the Home Office.
