How will you make sure Pincents Hill is a safe place to be?
Assessment of existing challenges has been undertaken via consultation with police and youth workers leading to a series of measures to prevent and address crime, including:
- Design to ensure that streets and public spaces are made safe through overlooking by adjacent buildings, sight lines, appropriate lighting and by avoiding creating of opportunity areas for antisocial behaviour;
- Ongoing engagement with leaders of young people's groups which will continue through detailed design and delivery stages to design out crime opportunities and create local community ownership;
- Ongoing neighbourhood management once Pincents Hill has been delivered, which would include neighbourhood wardens with the responsibility of preventing antisocial behaviour.
