Formerly known as Radio Link, the scheme (launched in 1994) is designed to provide the town with a fully integrated "Safer Shopping" scheme combining Radio Link and CCTV.
It is run independently of Wyre Forest District Council by a group whose membership currently consists of 54 retailers. The scheme covers the town centre, Crossley Retail Park, Comberton Hill and the Horsefair.
A number of new crime-busting schemes are being launched including
- increased CCTV coverage
- participation in the National Civil Recovery Programme (to recover the cost of crime from criminals)
- introduction of a voluntary "Thumbs-Up Scheme" under which customers are asked to provide a thumbprint when
using cheques and credit cards.
