The aim of this summer's initiative is to prevent crime and antisocial behaviour  in town centres and ensure visible, meaningful consequences for those responsible.

The focus of the Safer Streets summer town centre initiative is visibility, prevention and enforcement. It is also about what can be delivered in partnership with councils, schools, health services, business, transport and community organisations. 

Police and Crime Commissioners and deputy mayors have submitted delivery plans on how they and local partners intend to keep town centres safe this summer across their force areas.
