Anti-crime radio link

TRADERS in Islington are using a new radio link to help them tune out crime.
North End Essex Road Small Business Association has 14 radios linked to a set with Islington police’s local Safer Neighbourhoods Team.
Their £180 handsets were paid for by Islington Council, with antenna equipment installation paid for through the Safer Islington Partnership community panels.
Sergeant Mark Rutherford from Islington’s Canonbury Ward SNT said: “The intention of the radios is to strengthen the small business community; many are lone traders who may feel isolated and this is to help provide support for each other should there be any problems, be it crime or just something they cannot deal with on their own.”
