• Summer activities in Prescot and Whiston

The Safer Knowsley Partnership is committed to tackling crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour in our parks and open spaces and is supporting the SafeSpace initiative over the summer months.

In Prescot and Whiston, SafeSpace aims to:

• Reduce crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour.
• Create attractive, safe and welcoming parks, play areas and public spaces.
• Improve the environmental condition of open spaces.
• Make open spaces cleaner and ensure they are properly maintained.
• Engage with local people and communities through involvement and activities.
• Cater for children and young people through fun and educational activities.

The Prescot and Whiston Pride Team. made up of Merseyside Police, Knowsley Housing Trust, Knowsley Council and other partners, are working with the Friends of Stadt Moers Group and the local community to ensure our parks and open spaces feel safe, welcoming and vibrant.

Dedicated officers supported by Police Community Support Officers (PCSTOs) and Neighbourhood Wardens will be providing a high visibility presence in our parks, acting as a visible deterrent to offenders and providing reassurance to the community.

Numerous activities are running throughout August and will help to ensure that parks and open spaces in your area are safe.
