The consultation has now closed, thank you for your contributions. The consultation findings are included in the Safer Streets 2 Consultation Report published in the Document Section of this page.
The Safer Streets 2 Project is a crime reduction programme in Central Birkenhead and Seacombe which will be delivered between August 2021 and March 2022.
Having secured nearly £820,000 of funding from the Home Office, the Police & Crime Commissioner for Merseyside is working with Wirral Council on initiatives which aim to reduce crime and improve safety in some of the borough’s most deprived areas.
Last year the first round of funding for the Safer Streets project was spent in North Birkenhead on 40 new alleygates, 150 upgraded streetlights and new CCTV cameras.
This time around we are proposing to install around 30 new alleygates in Central Birkenhead and Seacombe, as well as new CCTV and streetlighting upgrades.
Alleygates are a substantial barrier constructed from perforated mild steel sheeting, with roller bars to prevent climbing. They are council owned and maintained, provided free of charge along with keys unique to each alleyway, to adjoining residents and businesses and have proven highly effective in reducing fly tipping, anti-social behaviour, arson and other crimes.
After consulting with residents in these areas, Wirral Council now believes there is a strong case for bringing in a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) in Central Birkenhead and Seacombe and we want to ask for your views on this.
By completing the short survey below you have the opportunity to register your support or objections to the scheme and we will use this feedback to ascertain whether or not to implement a PSPO and install new alleygates.
