Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Stephen Mold has been awarded almost £1.2 million from the Home Office following the success of two bids to the Government’s Safer Streets Funds.
The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner will add additional funding so that almost £1.7 million will now be used on projects to improve the safety of women at night in Northampton and Kettering – including the creation of a Night Safety Charter – and to prevent crime on the Queensway estate in Wellingborough.
This is the fifth time that the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner has been successful in securing funding from the Safer Streets scheme, bringing an additional £3.3 million that has been invested in schemes to keep the county safe.
The funding announced will be used on a series of projects to continue work to tackle violence against women and girls in Northampton, and Kettering and to improve the safety of residents on an estate in Wellingborough.
