Crime and Security
All towns, crowded places and development projects need to take account of the risks of crime and terrorism. It is incumbent on planners, designers and project teams to address these risks and ensure that projects designed to enhance the town, do not inadvertently compromise safety and security. We are here to support you in understanding these risks and how your projects can mitigate them.
The type of support we can offer includes:
access to tools on how to manage COVID-19 recovery
support on evaluating mitigation measures to ensure that interventions and investments are targeted in the most effective way possible
access to online seminars, surgeries and direct 1-1 support
