New Charter Attacks Cash in Transit Robbery / Home Office Press Release, 11 May 2007
http://press.homeoffice.gov.uk/press-releases/cash
The Charter is significant because it binds together for the first time all the key actors into a framework for action.
Highlights include:
  • Securing places where cash is delivered – this includes removing overgrown bushes, improving street lighting, installing CCTV and removing obstacles and unnecessary street furniture
  • Putting safer cash delivery at the heart of urban design and planning – a safe cash delivery area is required in all new build shops
  • Producing and sharing best practice
  • An annual report of progress against the Charter’s aims – the first will be published in 12 months time
