00:02 - Hello, my name's Simon Smalley.

00:05 I found out about the Safer Streets Initiative

00:08 through a flyer that came through the door

00:11 and the PCSO came to visit and had a recce

00:15 and sent what he thought was needed.

00:17 And as we already had a ring doorbell installed,

00:20 he said we were able to have a bulkhead light

00:24 installed out on the front, a motion detector,

00:27 a bulkhead light, which is dazzling,

00:30 pretty mildly, and a great, great advantage.

00:33 Came and had a look around the premises

00:35 in the outside and identified the areas

00:38 that could do with some assistance,

00:40 which was the side entry.

00:42 So he recommended to have a motion detector light

00:45 there as well, and some really big, chunky padlocks

00:49 on the shed outside, Hasps and padlocks.

00:52 Before it was being quite unsure of going out

00:55 in the evening because in the darkness

00:57 there wasn't much illumination from the streetlights,

01:01 but they seemed to be upgraded.

01:02 And Armadid came back and explained the whole thing,

01:05 which was, you know, it's wonderful that the funding's there

01:08 for such initiatives to be implemented, it's great.

01:12 - Hello, I'm Caroline Henry.

01:15 I'm the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire.

01:18 It's amazing to hear Simon's story

01:22 and to hear how he's directly benefiting

01:25 from Safer Streets.

01:26 This has been made possible after the Office

01:28 of Police and Crime Commissioner and our partners

01:31 secured three million pounds of Safer Street funding

01:36 from the Home Office.

01:38 Simon had experienced years of antisocial behaviour.

01:42 Thanks to his new deterrent PIR lighting and hardened locks,

01:47 he's been made to feel safer.

01:49 We're working hard to ensure people across Nottinghamshire

01:53 feel safe at home and whilst out and about in Nottinghamshire.

01:58 Thank you.
