South Yorkshire’s SAFER STREETS WINTER OF ACTION Newport Road, North Cave,
Partners across South Yorkshire are joining forces for a coordinated winter campaign to tackle crime and antisocial behaviour during December and January. Safer Streets Winter of Action brings together police, local authorities, businesses, and community organisations to make town centres safer and more welcoming throughout the festive season. The festive period brings unique challenges, from darker nights, bustling shopping streets to vibrant nightlife. The Winter of Action aims to address these by focusing on visible policing, crime prevention, and community engagement, ensuring that residents, visitors, and businesses feel safe and supported. Throughout December and
January South Yorkshire Police and the four South Yorkshire local authorities and community partners will be working to tackle safety in the night-time economy, retail crime, street crime, and anti-social behaviour. This will include linking with other partners including CCTV operators and licensed premised to ensure everyone can have a safe and enjoyable night out over the Christmas and New Year period. There will be increased engagement and visibility of police officers and local authority city centre/town centre wardens, increased messaging around personal safety and highlighting schemes to help people celebrate safely, including taxi marshalling, “Ask for Angela”. Each district will be coordinating its own
programme of activity linked to its priority areas. Partners will coordinate measures to address a range of issues and will work with other organisations, including Trading Standards and outreach workers to provide youth provision, support and signposting to young people to reduce anti-social behaviour. Environmental enforcement will see council officers issuing Fixed Penalty Notices for littering and fly tipping; plus traffic and parking enforcement by council wardens. In addition, there will also be a strong focus on the night-time economy, with measures to prevent alcohol-related disorder, and to protect women and girls from harm. These efforts will include joint patrols in priority
areas, reassurance visits to businesses, and environmental improvements such as better lighting and CCTV in hotspot locations. The Safer Streets Summer Initiative demonstrated the impact of coordinated activity, delivering thousands of hours of patrols, joint operations with British Transport Police, and community outreach projects. Building on this success, the Winter of Action will continue to strengthen trust between communities, the police and partners by aiming to make public spaces safer and more welcoming. This campaign is supported by the Home Office and funded through £66 million in hotspot policing resources, as part of the Government’s Plan for Change. It also aligns
with the Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee, which commits to placing 13,000 additional officers, PCSOs, and special constables into community policing roles. Councillor Kurtis Crossthorn, Chair of the Communities, Parks and Leisure Committee at Sheffield City Council, said: “Sheffield City Council is proud to support the Safer Streets Winter initiative, working with partners to make our city safer and more welcoming. “We will be working closely with partners to increase visible patrols, support community initiatives, and will be focusing on prevention and support for vulnerable people – ensuring Sheffield is a city where communities thrive and people feel safe and cared for.”
