The City Council’s Respect for Nottingham strategy is making quite an impact in helping to address anti-social behaviour in the city and restore civic pride. Many targets have been met and new ones set so that everyone who lives, works or plays in Nottingham can expect a decent quality of life.

Respect for Nottingham Strategy 2006-8 part 2

The aim of the Respect for Nottingham strategy is to clean up the City’s streets, take an uncompromising stand against begging, street prostitution and drug dealing and demonstrate that Nottingham is not a soft touch for those bent on criminality and damaging the quality of life in the city.

Creating a noticeable improvement in the cleanliness of the environment is also an important aspect of the strategy and the recent 100 Day Clean-Up campaign proved to be a major success. In partnership with the local residents and businesses, this campaign tackled issues such as fly-tipping, fly-posting, abandoned cars, litter, and graffiti. Watch out for more of this kind of action in 2005.

The City Council has increased its front-line resources on street cleaning and has also introduced a second graffiti team to tackle the problem of ‘tagging’ and other forms of graffiti.

Get caught kerb-crawling in Nottingham and you could get arrested, registered as a sex offender or even have your car confiscated. That’s the tough message being targeted at kerb crawlers through the launch of a new poster campaign in the city. Since the launch of a special kerb crawler task force in June, there’s now more chance than ever that kerb crawlers will get caught. The total number of arrests in connection with prostitution has increased five fold since the task force was set up.

Respect for Transport

Nottingham City Council, Nottingham City Transport, NET, JC Decaux and the big wheel have all signed up for the Respect for Transport Charter.

The Respect for Transport campaign includes more CCTV cameras, on buses, trams and stops, more lighting at bus stops, a bus stop security patrol unit, bus timetables via mobile phones so that people can cut the time they wait, and night public transport leaflets distributed throughout the city.
