CCTV cameras which will aim to tackle anti-social behaviour in Hetton have been installed using £51,000 in Government funding.
Four new cameras are now active in the area after the Hetton Altogether Linking Opportunities (HALO) project was granted up to £51,000 from the Home Office’s Safer Streets Fund. It is hoped the cameras will deter anti-social behaviour and environmental crime.
HALO, along with Sunderland City Council and a range of partners, including Northumbria Police, Gentoo, and Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue are working more closely together for the community and this follows a similar and successful project called SARA in Southwick - Southwick Altogether Raising Aspirations. The SAIL project - Sunderland Altogether Improving Lives - is also active in the city centre.
