Newcastle Under Lyme’s Business Improvement District has secured vital funding from the Police Commissioner’s Safer Streets Fund to improve safety and to support local businesses in the town centre during the festive period. The funding will enable the use of First Aid Responders on key Saturday dates throughout November and December, including Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, with the aim of alleviating pressure on essential resources, such as Staffordshire Police and the Accident and Emergency Unit at Royal Stoke University Hospital.
The funding comes following positive feedback from night time economy businesses after a successful initiative by the Borough Council that provides coverage on Friday evenings from the Women’s Safe Space in the Ironmarket.
