South Cambridgeshire CSP Community Safety Questionnaire

South Cambridgeshire Community Questionnaire 2020

Welcome to the South Cambridgeshire Community Safety Questionnaire!

We would like to find out what matters to our local communities and also the key factors that affect your perceptions of safety in your area.

This survey has been created by the South Cambridgeshire Community safety Partnership. The results will be used in monthly meetings between key partner agencies, including fire, district council, county council, Police among others) to assist us to grade and direct our priorities.

The South Cambridgeshire Community Safety Partnership work very hard to address the issues that matter to people within our region. The last twelve months has been extraordinary in many ways, and there has been a lot of change and uncertainty for many people both locally, nationally and also internationally.

Please share your thoughts and feelings with us. This survey takes approximately 7 minutes to complete and will help us to support you in your communities.

This is your opportunity to influence how key statutory bodies work on community safety in the your area.

Thank you for taking the time to complete our survey to help shape how we work to keep you safe.
