Waterloo Station is the UK’s busiest railway hub, welcoming millions of visitors travelling through every year.
Recognising that retail tenants in the station require a different type of support and approach to security than what the BID provides in other areas of South Bank, the BID funds and supports a number of different schemes to help support these outlets.
This includes funding a Business Crime Reduction Partnership in the station: Business Crime Reduction Partnerships are a partnership-based approach to preventing crime and disorder. Working with Safer Business Network and British Transport Police, each retailer in the station is provided with access to a radio network, intelligence sharing information, security news alerts and training and development support, ultimately creating a community to help tackle crime and anti-social behaviour across the station.
