Ripon groups urged to bid for £20,000 grants to tackle crime
Organisations concerned about crime in Ripon are being urged to apply for grants of up to £20,000.
Ripon has been blighted by anti-social behaviour in recent months. In one of the latest incidents, a teenage boy was robbed at knifepoint in Bondgate a fortnight ago.
The North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner's office operates a Community Fund specifically for local organisations, groups or individuals who need money to help fund a new community safety project or scheme.
The fund, which awards sums between £500 and £20,000, is only available for new projects and is aimed particularly at areas in the county suffering high crime.
