Clacksfirst BID operates a ‘Business Watch Scheme’ and is keen to share any information you may have, relative to crime or suspicious behaviour.

Contact admin@clacksfirst.co.uk if you see something worthy of sharing and we will promptly circulate the information to BID members.

Clacksfirst BID has an estate of CCTV cameras throughout the BID area. Through consultation with our partner agencies, it was advised that we invest in a system capable of capturing vehicle registration numbers. If your business has been subjected to criminal behaviour, contact us and we will work with Police Scotland to assist.

Clacksfirst BID has 28 CCTV cameras throughout the ten BID sites across the county. This has contributed towards a significant reduction in reported crime in the postcodes that are in the BID area. Clacksfirst has cameras located at the following BID sites:

  • Alloa Business Centre – 1 camera
  • Alva Industrial Estate – 4 cameras
  • Alloa West – 1 camera
  • Barnpark Business Park – 3 cameras
  • Cooperage Way – 4 cameras
  • Dumyat Business Park – 2 cameras
  • Midtown Business Park – 1 camera
  • Riverbank Industrial Estate – 7 cameras
  • The Trade Centre – 1 camera
  • The Whins – 4 cameras

CCTV provision always ranks highest when we survey BID members and that is why we are committed to increase the coverage we have and monitor requirements on an ongoing basis.

Clacksfirst BID employs mobile security patrols throughout the BID area during out-of-work hours as an added factor in our aim to keep crime figures down in the Clackmannanshire business arena.

Clacksfirst BID, in partnership with Criminal Justice Services, will remove unused, discarded pallets. Following an audit of the BID area, Police Scotland observed a number of pallets that could either be used as a climbing apparatus or be a fire risk. This is not a scheduled service, if you need pallets removed, contact admin@clacksfirst.co.uk this service is currently free.

Security Improvement Grants

The BID has always offered this grant on an annual basis, except during Covid period, to allow members to heighten security measures at their sites or premises and this will continue to be the case. This grant allows a BID member to claim up to 50% of their annual levy to a maximum of 50% of the cost to carry out the improvement to their security. Many BID members have taken advantage of this grant scheme to install or improve CCTV, lighting, alarms.
