Station South has agreed to be a designated
‘Safe Space’ for users on the Fallowfield Loop as part
of the Home Office Safer Street Fund programme.
As part of this role, the decision has been taken to use the
existing links that Station South and its officers have with local
community groups and schools. This role will be to promote both the
role that Station South has within the SSF programme, as well as
being a point of contact for community groups, stakeholders and
schools close to the FLOOP and to drive and develop any necessary
training, information packs and lead activities on the FLOOP to
promote the work being done through the programme with the aim of
improving both perceptions of safety and usership of the
FLOOP.
This funding is to be provided through the Home Office Safer
Streets Fund 22/23 which has a total budget of
£453,080.
The Deputy Mayor, through the use of the Home
Office Safer Streets Fund, will fund the purchase of a 0.2 FTE
Community Officer, currently employed by Station South, to support
the delivery of the Home Office Safer Streets Fund.
The value of this is £9,750 (£250 per day x 39
weeks)
The Home Office Safer Streets Fund 22/23 has a total budget of
£453,080 and a grant agreement is already in place between
the GMCA and the Home Office Grant to Station South.
