Today is the launch of the largest ever public survey on rural crime and it would be great if we could inform as many people as possible who live and work in rural Gloucestershire so they can have their say. The link to the survey is
http://www.nationalruralcrimenetwork.net/survey?member=Gloucestershire
You don’t need to have been a victim of crime to participate in this survey just simply care enough about rural communities and the freedoms they give us to have your say. We all need to feel safe and secure where we live and this survey will explore what this means in rural Gloucestershire and similar areas across the country.
It will give our rural citizens a powerful voice at a time when services are under greater pressure and are typically being drawn into urban areas of seemingly higher demand. Of course this fails to recognise the unique harms caused by crime in rural communities and this should not be overlooked (not just in terms of safety and security but in terms of health and wellbeing).
Please can you help spread the word and if you get chance fill in the survey yourselves.
Very many thanks,
Damon
