Access Tools

Town centre management initiatives are seeking to reduce crime and social problems within Knowsley’s town centres.

Working together with the Police, local businesses and the public, our security teams throughout the borough provide an outstanding service in Knowsley’s town centres.

CCTV and the retail radio scheme operate in Huyton, Kirkby and Prescot town centres.

The radiolink allows staff to share information on the movement of shoplifters as well as locating lost children. The spirit of co-operation has kept crime levels down to a consistently low level over the past few years.

CCTV surveys shopping areas, car parks, bus stations and the approach to roads in the area. The Huyton multi-storey car park has been awarded the AA/ACPO secured car park award. This recognises additional measures taken to improve security.

In addition, regular patrols of the area are carried out by security staff during shopping hours.

Public access

The public can apply for access to information held on CCTV only in specific circumstances – there is no public access to taped material other than in connection with the investigation, prosecution or prevention of crime under the guidance of the police and criminal evidence act criteria.
