Latest update on how the scheme is currently running – 11th November 2024
What has been achieved so far?
The installations of video doorbells by our trusted partners, Tom Willoughby, started at the beginning of September 2024.
They have fitted 806 (up until the end of October).
These have been in the following areas:
Westfield – 549 Clifton – 190 Castle – 67
There have been nearly 2,000 homes within the identified ward areas, who have signed up to receive the free video doorbell.
In September, the Guildhall Ward residents, 2,075 of them, all received their Security Upgrade Packs, with a letter from the Mayor and Deputy Mayor encouraging residents to improve security in their homes and encourage Guildhall residents to sign-up for a free video doorbell.
