Teenagers compete to be on the safe side
12:31pm Monday 4th December 2000
TEENAGERS will have a chance to improve safety and fight crime in their towns if they win a community-safety competition.
The On the Safe Side programme is being organised by Lewisham Council.
It will encourage seven to 13-year-olds to take an interest in crime reduction and community safety in their borough.
Winners of the contest will receive a cash prize from the council to implement their ideas.
Entries for the competition can be presented in a variety of formats including video, pictures or text.
The programme is being co-ordinated by schools and youth clubs. Entries close at the end of the Easter Term, 2001.
To get an application form call the community youth safety Officer, on 020 8314 8520.
