Unfortunately, not every community safety project is available to everyone. Where you live in North East Lincolnshire can determine which community safety projects are running in your area and what you are able to access.
This page explains on a ward by ward basis exactly what is available to you.
DON’T KNOW WHICH WARD YOU ARE IN?
If you don’t actually know which ward you live in, then please use the postcode checker on the North East Lincolnshire Council website here to double check the ward you live in. Find out more about the Wards here. You can also look up your Ward Councillors there.
QUICK START
VANEL now provide a single online form for requesting equipment from the projects we are involved with. The form is here.
You can use the form no matter where you live, but we then use your address and postcode to determine what is funded for your area. So it is also possible that we’ll not be able to support you because of where you live or because projects have come to an end. Please bear this in mind when you complete the form.
There might also be some support you can obtain from other organisations because of where you live, so check the guide below for your ward.
