Alongside some flourishing grant funded projects in the #BellFoundry #PeopleZone, "residents were pleased that #PeopleZones had enabled street improvements like the alleyway clean-up, where a knife was recovered… there has not been a return to the same levels of #ASB as existed prior to the intervention" The biggest issue for local residents remains drug & alcohol related crime, which is difficult to address. However with targeted Crimestoppers campaigns around cuckooing & county lines, alongside information around how to report crime, the aim is to empower residents to take more of a stand Some of the greatest successes have been from thriving relationships with local schools, targeting the #health and #wellbeing of children, young people & their families If you want to play a part in YOUR People Zone, get in touch with the team today #Loughborough @Regul8CIC @Love_4_LifeUK @LimehurstAc @Cobden_primary @MTCLoughborough @CEE_socent @FalconSupport_ @Charnwoodecohub @CafeWellbeing @lborouniversity @fearonhall @CharnwoodBC @lovelboro
