Have your say in how criminals’ cash is spent
You could have a say in how millions of pounds seized from criminals is spent on community projects
A new pilot fund is giving people a direct say in how recovered assets can be used to benefit their communities in the fight against crime – and you too can have a say.
The £4 million Community Cashback scheme is being funded by money and assets seized from wealthy criminals. It allows the public to choose which worthwhile community projects are funded by feeding in their views to a new dedicated website, neighbourhood policing meetings or through Citizens’ Panels.
Successful bids will have to show how the local community has been involved in selecting the project, demonstrate good value for money and be related in some way to tackling antisocial or criminal behaviour locally. This might include renovating a vandalised play area, investing in a youth centre of installing security measures on a housing estate.
