Yesterday our CEO Steven Medway and Director of Place and Environment Rebecca Handley represented Knightsbridge Partnership businesses at the latest High Streets UK Forum meeting, chaired by Dee Corsi, CEO, New west End Company to discuss the crucial topic of crime and community safety across the UK’s flagship high streets.

The session welcomed the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime Kaya Comer-Schwartz, providing a valuable opportunity for BIDs from across the UK to raise concerns and share ideas on how we can work in partnership to ensure our high streets remain safe, welcoming places for everyone.

The group’s key recommendations include:

• Ringfenced policing uplift in and around flagship high streets
• Developing a clear plan for criminal justice system reform, including strengthened provisions around Criminal Behaviour Orders
• A coordinated, nationwide multi-agency approach to tackling organised crime
• Pilot a standardised, nationwide framework for businesses to report crime.
