Police recently received an additional £750,000 to help tackle crime in Colwick and Netherfield through the Government’s Safer Streets Fund.
This additional funding will be invested in essential measures, including extra CCTV and improved street lighting. Police and community groups will also be asked to deliver focused plans to help make women and girls feel safer on local streets, as well as create projects which will change attitudes and behaviours in local communities.
