Help Points in Leamington Spa Town Centre

Delivered and supported by a partnership including Warwick District Council Safer Streets Team, Royal Leamington Spa Town Council, Warwickshire County Council, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, BID Leamington and the Warwickshire Retail Crime Initiative (WRCI).

We are very pleased to have 10 ‘Help Points’ in various town centre locations to support community safety.

These allow members of the public or staff in nearby businesses to have direct voice contact with a trained CCTV room operator. They can be used in emergencies or to get support or advice if someone is feeling vulnerable.

These call points, dotted around the town centre, are located on posts in carefully selected locations that are visible via CCTV, and can be identified by a bright ‘yellow box’ and an information sign.

When you press the call button, a member of staff from Warwick District Council’s CCTV operation room will respond. This is manned 24 hours are day, 7 days a week.

The CCTV team will reassure you that you are visible on camera and can make contact with local Police.

Here’s a list of locations with Help Points in Leamington Spa Town Centre:

  1. Clarendon Avenue / Beauchamp Road (by the Service Station)
  2. Parade – Regent Street Junction (by Crew Clothing)
