Bitterne’s children, parents and residents are hoping to see a real change to their precinct as the Crime Reduction and Environment Week (CREW) Team and volunteers give the area a make over from January 19 - 23.
Children of Bitterne CE Junior School will also be
invited to take a community pledge to make their village a nicer place
to live. The Council says capturing children’s hearts and minds, as
well as Bitterne residents, is crucial to the CREW message: say no to
crime and yes to keeping their area safe and clean.
Work during the week will include:
Deep cleaning of ally ways, subways and shelters
The removal of graffiti
Repairing the benches
Painting the play equipment
Replanting new shrubs
High visibility patrols
Checking abandoned/ un-taxed vehicles
Tackling fly tipping
There will be two ‘zero-tolerance enforcement roadshows’ - on Thursday
22 and Friday 23 - which will target crime and anti-social behaviour,
including dropping litter or cigarette ends. Enforcement officers will
issue on the spot fines to any offenders.
On Wednesday 21 CREW will be holding an agency fair as part of the
Bitterne Market; giving out advice and information on many local
services including:
Crime Prevention
Children’s Information Services
Home Fire Safety
Waste and Recycling
Environmental Health
CREW welcomes volunteers and anyone wishing to help should contact: 023 8083 2013 or visit http://www.southampton.gov.uk/crew
