City of North Battleford creating neighbourhoods to improve safety
The City of North Battleford is looking at establishing designated neighbourhoods throughout the city as part of its work in bringing residents together and improve community safety.
The project, called Formalizing Neighbourhoods, is a Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) Review Committee initiative.
Community Safety Coordinator Herb Sutton spoke to council and at its meeting Monday, and presented proposed plans for the project.
He said the aim of the project is to bring people in each neighbourhood together, and at the same time create an environment that is safe from crime. The project will involve giving neighbourhoods formal names and establishing the boundary for each neighbourhood.
