Grants - Large scale projects which impact on equality and diversity issues have been protected where possible.An impact assessment will be undertaken on measures being put in place to reduce expenditure.

CCTV service will continue with changes. It will still be a 24 hour service but only manned at certain times e.g. when crime rates are highest.

Grants - Total reduction in capital grants of £10m over 4 years with potential to affect all protected characteristics due to impact on City Council capital projects.

CCTV budget reduction could have an impact on the perception of safety. The perception of safety is influenced by protected characteristics in particular age and gender. There are links to the perception of crime and Anti-Social Behaviour and the city centre's day time and night time economies.
