Have your say on how criminals' cash is spent

Community Cashback scheme

Criminal assets could be cash, property or anything else of value confiscated from a criminal.

The new Community Cashback gives the public a say in how recovered criminal assets should be spent to improve their local area. 

You can suggest a project you would like to see happening in your area, or if you don't have a project to suggest, have your say on a project suggested by someone else.

Types of scheme you can suggest

The projects should be related to nuisance, anti-social or criminal behaviour or its impact on the community.

• projects could focus on one or several neighbourhoods
  
• projects should be community focused and make a noticeable difference on the community
  
• projects must demonstrate value for money, be able to be delivered quickly and their impact should be clearly evaluated
  
• outcomes must be visible to the community
  

For example, you might want to suggest a project to renovate a children's playground or other area for young people which has become unusable due to criminal damage.

Follow the Community Cashback link below to have your say on how criminals’ cash should be spent in your area.
