High-visibility patrols are also being carried out
Discarded weapons were recovered from Nottingham parks after a sweep with a metal detector. Police, firefighters and council environmental officers teamed up for the Safer Streets activity in the Bestwood and Top Valley area on Wednesday, April 19, which was aimed at making residents feel safer.
They also popped in at the Pulp Friction café in Bestwood. Firefighters from Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service supported the event by giving free fire safety advice to local residents and offering ‘safe and well’ visits.Nottingham City Council made it a clean sweep by litter picking, grass cutting and making public spaces feel cleaner, tidier and safer.
Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Caroline Henry, said: “These high-visibility days of action are a great way to give some additional reassurance to local residents that we are working together as partners to ensure their neighbourhoods are safer and more appealing. James Douglas, Head of Community Protection at Nottingham City Council, added: “A clean neighbourhood can often be the precursor to a safer neighbourhood. Similarly, we find that visible signs of crime and anti-social behaviour can create an environment that unfortunately encourages further problems.
