Safety, Security & Environment
We aim to provide a safer and secure town centre environment for business owners and visitors through tackling crime and anti-social behaviour. We also provide a welcoming, attractive and accessible city through planting, seasonal light, bunting and maintaining the way finding signage. During our fourth term our main projects under this theme are:
- Funding 46 hours of Truro Rangers Security Patrols per week and part-funding (with Cornwall Council and Truro City Council) Truro’s Anti-Social Behaviour Officer.
- Improving the appearance of Truro via funding and installing colourful bunting, organising the City Clean Up event and part-funding with Truro City Council the annual summer hanging baskets delivered by the City Council’s Parks Team.
- Maintaining the city’s Wayfinding Signs (which includes branded maps and information points) to encourage footfall across Truro.
- Funding and delivering the DISC online reporting tool for businesses and organisations, to help reduce anti-social behaviour (ASB) and low-level crime.
