Views on crime wanted to help Cornwall 'feel safe'

The Have Your Say survey is available online until the end of August

Cornwall residents are being asked for their opinions on the levels of crime and antisocial behaviour in their area.

The Have Your Say survey has been commissioned by Safer Cornwall, which is a group of organisations, including Cornwall Council and Devon and Cornwall Police, which "work together to make sure Cornwall's communities feel safe".

It is hoped the results will shape how the partnership carries out the Safer Cornwall Partnership Plan, which wants to tackle antisocial behaviour and drug use, domestic abuse, sexual violence and exploitation.

Safer Cornwall said the survey would allow the group to "work out the best solutions together to make sure Cornwall is a safe place for everyone."

"The more people who complete it, the better our understanding will be of the key issues facing our communities and how to tackle them." said councillor Thalia Marrington, cabinet member for community safety and public health.

"We want to create vibrant, safe, and supportive communities where people help each other to live well and the results of the Have Your Say survey will help equip us with the knowledge to achieve this."

The survey can be accessed on the Let's Talk Cornwall website until 31 August.
