The Nottingham BID Projects
Raising the Standards on Safety
“We notice a distinct reticence amongst customers to visit Nottingham City Centre, preferring instead to stay in the suburbs, or choosing other towns for their night-time entertainment.”
“Visitors no longer have the confidence to come into the City
70% of visitors who visit the City, do not feel safe after midnight.
Over the next 5 years we propose to:-
- Provide on-street security including taxi marshals to improve queuing systems and anti-social behaviour.
- Contribute to the enhancement of the existing CCTV.
- Enhance and extend existing lighting schemes, encouraging footfall to other areas.
- Investigate the gating of un-used side streets to prevent unsociable use.
- Provide spotlights in alleyways to offer confidence and prevent misuse.
- Negotiate enhanced use of Mobile CCTV and a uniformed presence on the streets.
The provisional cost allocated to improve Safety over the next 5 years is £293,000.
The projects proposed in the Nottingham BID will begin to re-build this confidence, so that customers will come back again and spend more of their money in this great City.
The effectiveness of the projects undertaken will be measured using the following key performance indicators:-
- City Centre Crime Statistics.
- External Representative Perception Survey – fear of crime.
- Number of additional security measures in place.
- Incidents in the City Centre of anti-social behaviour.
