Knife Crime Awareness Week

Last week was Knife Crime Awareness Week. 

During Knife Crime Awareness Week, we were reminding everyone of the importance of safely disposing of bladed items and reducing the risk of harm in our communities.

📊 Did you know?

These figures show the positive impact of providing safe disposal options – and we thank everyone who has already made use of them.

🔪 Important reminder:
The knife bins are not just for weapons. They are available for the safe disposal of everyday household and work-related items, including:

Safely disposing of these items helps prevent them from falling into the wrong hands and reduces the risk of accidental injury.

✅ If you have bladed items you no longer need, please make use of the disposal bins provided across the district.

Together, we can continue to make our communities safer.
