Take part in crime survey and help influence priorities for next 12 months.
Residents across Arun are being urged to take part in a unique crime survey identifying the most important issues they want tackled by the Safer Arun Partnership.
In the first survey of its kind to be carried out by the group, people living across the district are being asked to tell the Partnership what’s most important to them. The results will influence the priorities of the Partnership over the coming year.
The survey can be filled out by clicking on the link: http://bit.ly/dB7c7n
or in paper form at Arun Civic Centre and Bognor Regis Town Hall. Copies will also be available for residents from their local Police Community Support Officers and police stations as well as at a series of roadshows the Partnership will be holding over the summer.
Councillor Roger Elkins, a member of the Safer Arun Partnership and Arun District Council’s Cabinet Member for Community Safety, said: “The Safer Arun Partnership is all about working with communities, for communities and we need to be addressing the issues that people tell us are most important to them.
“We are lucky to live in a very safe part of the country but at the same time there are issues that need to be addressed. In this time of limited budgets it has never been more important to ensure that our resources are directed where they are most needed.
“This is the first survey of its kind carried out by the Partnership and gives people a real opportunity to influence what happens next.”
The survey asks people to identify, in order of importance in their local area, their three top priorities between domestic violence, hate crime, violent crime, anti-social behaviour, vandalism and graffiti, burglary, theft, alcohol misuse, drug crime and road safety.
The survey will remain open until the end of August and the Partnership will then draw up an action plan based on people’s responses.
The Safer Arun Partnership launched on April 1 and replaced the old Arun Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership.
It exists to drive down crime and anti-social behaviour across the district and pulls together different organisations including Arun District Council, West Sussex County Council, West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, Sussex Police and Sussex Probation Trust, Sussex Police Authority, and the local health services.
The team are holding the following roadshows over the summer where residents can find out more about the Partnership and fill out the survey:
•• 14th August - Yapton Flower Show
•• 21st August - Bognor Community Town Show
•• 11th September - Littlehampton Town Show
Copies are being sent to all town and parish councils across the district, members of Arun Youth Council and Neighbourhood Watch.
All those who fill in the survey will be entered into a prize draw with a first prize of £50 M&S vouchers and 2nd Prize £25 M&S vouchers.
