Night Safety Project
Night Safety Project
Canvey Island Town Council held the first of its events to promote night safety for pedestrians and cyclists on Friday 13th February. The event held in the Knightswick Centre was supported by Essex Police and Safer Essex Roads Partnership, and saw the Town Council and the two organisations give out free items to enhance the safety of road and pavement users during the darker hours.
The Town Council provided bicycle lights, torch keyrings and reflective keyrings to promote higher visibility, while Essex Police and Safer Essex Roads Partnership also had giveaways to promote personal safety and road safety. The event was very successful with a very positive response from residents.
The Town Council have been able to bring this project to residents by successfully obtaining £2831.00 of funding from Essex PFCC’s Community Safety Fund. The Town Council will be delivering more events as part of this project and its’ commitment to improving community safety.
