He said: “The Commissioner’s People Power Fund puts £500,000 back into local communities and is easy and simple to apply for.

“It’s about local ideas to sort out local issues like anti-social behaviour. If you’ve got a good idea, the People Power Fund may be able to help you achieve it.

“If you’re a community group with good ideas to cut crime or make your area safer go to the website now to find out more.”

The window for the latest round of applications for People Power Funding runs from August 1 to September 14.

Applications need to be sponsored by the group’s local Neighbourhood Police Officer or PCSO and will initially be assessed by the local Community Safety Partnership.
