Crime and anti-social behaviour

We continued to raise awareness with the Cheshire Police and Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) about the negative
impact that crime and ASB has on our businesses. We now have
a quarterly walkabout with senior police officers to identify the issues raised by BID members. We also represent businesses at the Chester Against Business Crime’s weekly intelligence briefing which deals with shoplifting and ASB. In partnership with Chester Against Business Crime we also distributed 55 new co-sign radios.
