People who live, work or study in the county can have their say on how they feel about community safety in a survey by the Safer Warwickshire Partnership.

The survey will help to shape the work of the partnership, which includes representatives from Warwickshire’s councils, Fire and Rescue service, Police, the Police and Crime Commissioner, the Probation Service, Health, and charitable organisations.

The survey will ask people to give their views about current community safety issues, to find out about any concerns.

It will help to give the partnership a bigger picture of what issues there are, what needs to be prioritised and how the partners can best work together to tackle them, with the aim of increasing how safe people feel in the county.

You can complete the survey online at https://ask.warwickshire.gov.uk/.

Warwickshire Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Seccombe is encouraging all residents to complete the survey.

He said: “This survey will help community safety partners to understand your community safety concerns and guide the development of targeted solutions. It will also help me as Police and Crime Commissioner as I work on shaping the priorities of the next Police and Crime Plan for the county.

“What you say now will help all partners to develop the right strategic plans to meet local needs, ensuring that public feedback is at the heart of what we do.

“By sharing your thoughts now, you’re therefore directly influencing how we approach policing and community safety in Warwickshire. So please don’t miss this opportunity to make your voice heard over the next month.”

The results will be analysed in the summer of 2024, and used to inform the setting of local community safety priorities from the autumn onwards.

The survey is running until Sunday 4 August.
