Bridlington Residents Urged to Comment on Safety Improvements

Thursday, 15 January 2026 18:30

Residents in Bridlington are being encouraged to share their feedback on several improvements implemented in the town, made to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.

This includes new fencing at Matson court, to make the path feel safer, opening the footpath near the football club to make the area more visible, and a community tidy up and painting of the Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA).

In addition, the council have provided new lighting and CCTV at South Cliff Gardens to help stop anti-social behaviour, as well as a new use of smart cameras to spot drivers who throw rubbish out of their cars

The projects were completed in early 2025 and are part of the ‘Clear Hold Build’ scheme, a multi-agency effort to tackle serious and organised crime and antisocial behaviour in Bridlington area. These projects have been funded by East Riding of Yorkshire Council and the UK government via the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Councillor Lyn Healing, East Riding of Yorkshire Council cabinet member for communities and public protection said

“We have made a concerted effort to improve quality of life in Bridlington, as part of our dedication to ensuring that the East Riding is a good place to live. We encourage residents to share their feedback on the impact of clear hold build projects and recommendations for future action.”
