Millions of pounds in funding is being directed at anti-social behaviour hotspots across Greater Manchester. Three boroughs will benefit from the £2.4 million of cash, called the ‘Safer Streets Fund’.
Manchester, Stockport, and Wigan are the three areas of the city-region which will see the injection of cash. It’s hoped the money will allow for the creation of safe spaces, community wardens, speeding measures, and CCTV.
The specific areas of the city to get the boost are the Fallowfield Loop in Manchester, Stockport’s Brinnington, and Platt Bridge, Woodcock Drive, and Scholes in Wigan. Council bosses in the benefitting areas say tackling yobs is a ‘key priority’.

Of the £2.4 million, some £453,080 will go to the Fallowfield Loop to introduce a community warden, set-up a safe space, install new fencing and lights, give cycling training to local schools, and clear the site to improve safety.
"Tackling crime and anti-social behaviour is a key priority for the Council,” deputy council leader Luthfur Rahman, said. “Everyone should be able to live in peace and without the fear of intimidation or violence. That is why with our partners, we have made this successful bid for additional resources to tackle issues in Fallowfield.
"Collective action is the best way for us to transform communities and make them safe, prosperous and happy. I look forward to implementing new measures which can help us fulfil our goals."
