Darlington has been recognised by the Purple Flag award as a town that offers a safe night out. This international accreditation recognises cities and towns for the high quality after dark.
We are proud of how safe and welcoming our town is to those who live, work, study and visit here, in the day as well as in the evening and night.
Our town offers a blend of entertainment, dining, and culture as well as a commitment to the safety of local residents and visitors. Services include Number Forty, which offers a safe space for people who feel vulnerable or who are unwell on a night out, and an upgraded CCTV system and control room.
