The Association of Local Authority Risk Managers (ALARM) has welcomed Home Office plans to allocate £33m to 180 CCTV schemes in England and Wales.

Tony Chapman, Building Programme Manager for Peterborough City Council, will outline the success of his own council's award-winning CCTV system at the annual ALARM conference at the University of Warwick on 17 April.

The state-of-the-art Citisafe system was installed in Peterborough in April 1997, and has since seen a marked reduction in its crime rates . And the system, which has won four national awards, is continuing to expand within the guidelines of Peterborough's community safety strategy.


The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
