Nottinghamshire's Police and Crime Commissioner has insisted that Warsop is not a dangerous place as several new projects are announced focused on the safety of women and girls there. But one business owner says the new projects are "definitely" needed and that being in the town late at night at the moment can be "horrendous".
The new projects for Warsop have been announced after a successful bid to the Government's latest round of safer streets funding, which was focused on tackling neighbourhood crime, anti-social behaviour and violence against women and girls. Projects that will be delivered in Warsop include new street lighting, CCTV installations, and upgraded number plate recognition cameras.
Caroline Henry, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire, who made the bid for Government funding, said: "This isn't just about feelings, this is also about looking at the evidence and that does show that people in Warsop are safe.
