Safer Central - Community Safety Survey

The Safer Central Community survey is used each year to find out what issues are important to you – whether you are new to the area or have been a resident for a long time. Even if you completed our survey last year, we would like to hear from you again. Your views will help to set CBCs community safety priorities for the next three years.

Please note that any information you give us will be treated in confidence and stored securely. The information will only be used to understand community priorities and to assess performance.

In this survey, we will ask you questions about your ‘local area’. By local area we mean the street where you live and the surrounding streets, up to 15-20 mins walk away.

You do not have to answer all of the questions, however the more information you give us, the more it will help us to understand what is important to you.

If you have questions or need a large print version of this survey please contact: community.safety@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk
