Two Liverpool neighbourhoods that have been “plagued” by crime are to receive over £750,000 of funding to install new CCTV, street lighting and fences.
The money will be directed at projects focused on reducing crime in areas of Huyton and Picton. It comes after Liverpool’s police commissioner Emily Spurrell successfully bid for the cash investment from the Government’s Safer Streets Fund.
In Huyton, £367,000 of funding will be used to improve the safety of residents in Primrose Court, a housing estate which has suffered from high levels of crime and anti-social behaviour in recent years.
