The initiative is one of a number of actions partners are working on together to deliver quality streets across the district’s town centres. The BCRP provides reporting tools and in-person support to reduce the gap between the number of incidents businesses say are taking place in their premises and the town centres, and reports sent to the police in a way they can follow up on or use to evidence the need for more resources. While crime reduction services have been available to businesses in Littlehampton and Bognor Regis town centres for several years, this is the first time the initiative has been formally staffed or covered both areas. Membership of the scheme is provided at no additional cost to businesses.
