Millions of pounds in funding is being directed at anti-social behaviour hotspots across Greater Manchester. Three boroughs will benefit from the £2.4 million of cash, called the ‘Safer Streets Fund’.
Manchester, Stockport, and Wigan are the three areas of the city-region which will see the injection of cash. It’s hoped the money will allow for the creation of safe spaces, community wardens, speeding measures, and CCTV.
The specific areas of the city to get the boost are the Fallowfield Loop in Manchester, Stockport’s Brinnington, and Platt Bridge, Woodcock Drive, and Scholes in Wigan. Council bosses in the benefitting areas say tackling yobs is a ‘key priority’.
