Newquay Business Improvement District (BID) is proud to announce the rollout of new security radios to all beaches within the BID boundary—an important step aimed at deterring anti-social behaviour, underage drinking, and low-level crime.
Funded with support from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), the radios will significantly enhance real-time communication between key safety partners, including beach lifeguards, police, CCTV operators, and town rangers. The addition of this technology strengthens Newquay’s already robust safety framework, which includes an extensive CCTV network, visible town ranger patrols, and strong police collaboration.
“These radios are a fantastic addition to our community safety toolkit,” said Mark Warren from Newquay BID. “They will help ensure quicker response times, better coordination, and a stronger deterrent presence, keeping our residents, local businesses, and visiting tourists safe throughout the year.”
In addition to the beach rollout, Mark Warren, Newquay BID Manager, is also issuing further radios throughout the high street to support the town centre. This extension aims to bolster security for local businesses and visitors, particularly during the busy summer season.
The initiative reflects Newquay BID’s continued commitment to making the town a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable destination for all. As one of the UK’s most visited coastal towns, safety remains a top priority for those who live in, work in, and visit Newquay.
