Tell us your thoughts about crime in your area

Local people are being invited to take part in an annual consultation to tell the authorities in our area about their experiences of crime.  

The consultation, which is held each year, is part of the Joint Strategic Intelligence Assessment (JSIA), and helps the Community Safety Partnership to get a clearer picture of where to direct their resources and which crimes to prioritise.

Local people are being asked how their family have been affected by crime in the last 12 months, whether they feel that the level of crime in their area has increased, decreased, or stayed the same, and how they perceive individual crimes to be a problem.

The responses from local residents are combined with crime data for the local area, giving the Council, Police and other local services a picture of what crime is taking place compared with the public perception of crime and where people feel more resources should be directed.

This consultation is open from Wednesday, 25^th March 2026 to Wednesday, 20^th May 2026. To take part, visit https://tell-us.questionpro.eu/t/AB3uoi9ZB3wBke.
