The BID is restarting the DISC System in order to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.

DISC allows businesses to share intelligence with other businesses and the police in a way that is legal and not restricted by data protection in the usual way. We would like as many people using this system so that together we can help one another in keeping our streets safe for all our customers and increase footfall that comes from people knowing our streets are safe to shop. We used it to great positive effect a few years ago when the anti social behaviour problem was out of hand.

Accordingly on October 20th, 2022 at 6pm there will be a meeting held to introduce this DISC system and how to use it. The meeting will be held at Bubble Play Cafe, 148 East Street. We would prefer that owners of businesses or managers attend this meeting and please bring a form of ID. Also please bring your smart phones and/or laptops whichever you tend to use the most as the DISC system application will be downloaded for easy access and reporting.

Any questions please contact Olivia on eaststbedminster@gmail.com.
