Crime prevention measures have received a funding boost with the local area receiving just over $67,000 from the Local Crime Fund.
A few months ago, Auckland Council’s Regulatory and Safety Committee approved the allocation of the $2 million fund, which it received from central government.
The money is being shared across Auckland’s local boards and business improvement districts (BIDs). Locally, the Rodney Local Board received $67,591 and One Mahurangi got $2000.
The local board will hold a workshop on how this funding should be allocated later this month. Although it will be up to the local board and One Mahurangi to determine how the money will be spent, the fund prioritises crime prevention initiatives focused on environmental design, and youth crime prevention.
