A project which was set up to make Sunderland city centre safer has resulted in a drastic drop in anti-social behaviour in its first six months.
The SAIL project was launched last December with the aim of creating a safer and cleaner city, and has already seen a 73% drop in rowdy and inconsiderate behaviour. The project is made up of a number of representatives including Neighbourhood Enforcement, Housing and Environmental Service areas from within Sunderland City Council together with officers from Northumbria Police, Youth Offending Service and Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service.
The SAIL Project, an acronym for Sunderland Altogether Improving Lives, hopes to make a real and lasting difference to people's lives by bringing together the expertise of partner agencies.
