Residents are invited to answer questions about community safety, and their experiences, in a new survey which is running until 31 July.
The council’s community safety team has launched the survey to help inform the Safer Slough Partnership (SSP) about community concerns, whether they live, or work, in Slough.
The SSP is made up of partners from the police, council, probation service, fire service and others, and they work on local crime and disorder priorities in Slough.
By completing the annual survey, you have the chance to give your views on:
- the impact of crime, anti-social behaviour, drug and alcohol issues where you live and work
- your experience of reporting crimes
- how safe you feel in Slough.
A similar survey was carried out a year ago, where there were 446 responses. Data from this year will be compared against last year to help to identify trends.
Lisa Spall, the council’s community safety manager, said: “It’s important we hear first-hand experiences from residents so we can understand what is going on at community level. Not everyone will have needed to report a crime, but we want to hear how easy it was to do.
“Do you feel safe in Slough? If not, we want to know why not and if there are any particular problem areas you want to highlight. This local knowledge will greatly help the Safer Slough Partnership to develop and implement an action plan to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour. Thank you in advance for taking the time to assist.”
The survey can be translated into other languages using Google Translate. It will only take a few minutes to complete.
