The Government’s Police Reform White Paper announced the most significant reforms to policing in 200 years. We have committed to increasing the number of volunteers in neighbourhood policing, including special constables. We will do this by working with policing to attract new special constables, improving and streamlining the recruitment process and better integrating special constables into wider policing.

We are delivering on the people’s priorities to cut crime and make our communities safe. The Safer Streets Fund provides local areas with the resources they need to prevent crime and improve safety in high crime locations across England and Wales. Since 2020, three Rounds of the Fund have completed, worth £70 million in Government investment. These rounds have focused on reducing neighbourhood crimes, such as burglary and robbery, and preventing violence against women and girls in public through interventions such as improved street lighting and home security, as well as education and training initiatives. The Fund has included funding for street pastors and similar guardianship initiatives.
The Safety of Women at Night (SWaN) Fund also ran over the 2021/22 financial year and was focused on improving women’s safety in the night time economy, including through awareness raising initiatives, creating safe spaces, and targeting perpetrator behaviour. The SWaN and all rounds of the Safer Streets Fund are subject to independent evaluation to assess impact.
This Government has committed £50 million a year to the Safer Streets Fund for the next three years. A fourth round of the Fund launched in March, open to Police and Crime Commissioners, local authorities, the British Transport Police, and eligible civil society organisations. This round focuses on improving the safety of women and girls in public, including in the night-time economy, as well as tackling neighbourhood crime and anti-social behaviour.

Our £50 million Re-opening High Streets Safely Fund (RHSSF) will provide councils with additional funding to support their business communities with measures that enable safe trading in public places. We have provided guidance for local authorities on the activities that can be funded through RHSSF. This includes the provision of Information Officers to deliver business-facing awareness activity, as set out in strand three of eligible activity in the fund guidance. The RHSSF is not intended to fund all of the interventions listed in the Safer Public Spaces guidance, published in May, which included the option of street stewards to help manage pedestrian flows.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether local authorities will be reimbursed through the Re-opening High Street Safely Fund for the costs of street wardens.
Our £50 million Re-opening High Streets Safely Fund (RHSSF) will support a range of practical safety measures to help businesses trade safely on our high streets. Whilst street wardens cannot be funded through this stream of funding, Local authorities may wish to fund Information Officers to deliver business-facing awareness activity, as set out in strand three of eligible activity in the fund guidance. Signage, street markings and temporary barriers are also in scope of funding. The RHSSF will provide the tools to help towns and cities develop safe trading environments, particularly in high streets, and will be key to kick starting the economy, getting people back to work, businesses trading and helping to reinvigorate communities.
Further information on the RHSS Funding Agreement and claims process will be made available in due course.
