The Summer Safe Carparks programme, which is a successful community safety initiative, is only able to be operated due to the dedication by our diverse community volunteers, who act as ambassadors at our “high risk” tourist destinations.
This programme operates each weekend and statutory holiday over the summer period, from December to Easter Monday.
