St John's Station Receives 'Safer Station Status'

27/1/2009

 
Picture
I am pleased to report that I have recently presented staff at St John’s Station with their award for ‘Safer Station Status’.

The award, made under the Secure Stations Scheme managed by the Department for Transport and British Transport Police, is an assurance to passengers and staff that stringent efforts have been made to deter crime and anti-social behaviour.

Accreditation is given against strict security criteria, including:
  • Good fencing and boundaries
  • Good CCTV coverage
  • Good lighting
  • Good use of corner mirrors and signage
  • A reduction in crime rates at the station
  • Regular station maintenance audits, including removal of graffiti within 24-hours
  • Availability of staff with conflict management knowledge·         
  • Positive results in an independent survey of passengers using the station on how they feel about security at the station. 
I’m really pleased to have presented this award. A significant number of my constituents use the station every day and it is important that they feel safe and secure when doing so.
