Trowbridge town centre business owners and managers are invited to a meeting at The Civic (Pitman Room) from 1200-1300 on Tuesday 15th July to discuss issues affecting local retailers with a view to reducing town centre crime.

The joint Chamber and Trowbridge Police event offers an opportunity for businesses to exchange information with the police and fellow businesses and to network with fellow businesses.

Shopwatch is a community based initiative where businesses in a specific area collaborate to prevent crime.  The scheme often involves regular meetings between local shop owners, security personnel, and the police to discuss issues, share information and coordinate responses to criminal activity.  Participants often use two-way radios to communicate in real-time, enabling them to respond quickly to incidents and deter potential offenders.

All businesses are encouraged to report any ASB, shoplifting and other offences and to sign up to our town centre Storenet radio system. Installing CCTV is also recommended to add to the increasing CCTV coverage of  the town centre.”
