Project
Summary:
The ?Safe and Secure? scheme is available, free of charge, to applicants who meet certain criteria, namely vulnerable owner/occupiers, tenants of property over 60 year of age, disabled or disadvantaged persons and those in receipt of benefit.
Many tenants suffer from burglaries in Great Yarmouth but the Council does not have the resources to install sufficient crime preventative fixtures and fittings. The aim of this project is to expand the ?Safe and Secure? scheme to install crime prevention measures in any dwelling within target areas of high crime and in those dwellings that have been burgled and are in danger of repeat crime.
UPDATE: May 03
The 'Safe and Secure' Scheme has recieved a boost thanks to commercial sponsors and the county's seven community safety Partnerships with the delivery of two new vehicles. The vans will be used by Bob Reid and Mark Baker, the Safe and Secure Carpenters. Commercial sponsors have allowed the van to be fiited out and supplied with all the tools of the trade.
There is a website for PACT but it is currently unavailable.
02-03 update
"The use of NRF has enabled this Countywide service to be expanded in Great Yarmouth by targetting, upon request from the householder, the homes of ALL vulnerable people living within all five Priority Neighbourhoods in the Borough. The numbers of addresses where crime preventative measures have been installed are:
April 2002 - March 2003 = 156
April 2003 - June 2003 = 110
July 2003 - Sept 2003 = 183
All work carried out by the registered contractors is monitored through the completion of a Customer Satisfaction Questionnaire. Analysis of these shows that there is a high degree of satisfaction both with the quality of the work and also the greater feeling of safety which people now feel as a direct result. The project leader has also received a number of unsolicited letters from customers of the service expressing their gratitude for the sense of security and wellbeing they now enjoy following the work done."
