Community Safety News & Campaigns
Community Safety Partnership Vehicle
We now have a new Community Safety Vehicle funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner. This welfare vehicle will be used in the coming months to increase our engagement with residents across the Districts especially those more rural areas. It provides a warm dry space with a table and chairs for meeting with the community.
Usage will include:
• teaming up with our local Police officers to run beat surgeries in locations that don’t have a village hall.
• Attending antisocial behaviour hotspots to increase visibility and be available for residents to speak to us.
• Raising awareness of seasonal campaigns
• Use by Community Safety Partners – Police, Fire Service and Turning Point.
• Joint events with our Health and Wellbeing Team
Speed Campaign and Fatal Four Coming to Market Harborough
We have now arranged with Leicestershire Fire and Rescue, the first visit to Market Harborough of the “Hazard Express Vehicle”. This is touring all around the county at the moment and is owned by Leicestershire Fire & Rescue. The aim is speed awareness and road safety. Within the Hazard Express Vehicle are fitted seats with virtual reality headsets. Below is a photo of the vehicle, also there on the day will be the new Community Safety Partnership Vehicle, fire engine and crew, and police.
It will visit The Square, Market Harborough on Saturday 9th March.
