SNAP - your neighbourhood action week

Staff at SNAP event

SNAP is a way of bringing people together to focus on local problems - aiming to clean up areas and target criminal activity over a week of action.

These are led by Salford City Council in partnership with Greater Manchester Police, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, local housing providers and the Probation Service’s community payback team.

SNAPs involve a variety of activities depending on the specific needs of your neighbourhood and include things like:

removing graffiti
collecting large items of rubbish
cutting back overgrown trees
education programmes in schools about drugs, alcohol and crime
fire and community safety initiatives
tackling anti-social behaviour
crime reduction

We hope that this targeted action will result in longer term improvements and make your neighbourhood a safer, more pleasant and enjoyable place to live.
