Last chance to have your say on community safety in Walsall
Published on
Walsall residents are reminded to have their say on a community safety and crime survey that closes this week.
The Safer Walsall Partnership (SWP) launched a five-week consultation on 17 February 2025, asking residents to share their thoughts on key topics such as anti-social behaviour, crime, serious violence and environmental crimes in Walsall.
More than 800 people have responded to the survey since its launch.
Findings of the survey will be an integral part of the partnerships next three-year community safety strategy and will help shape the priorities of the partnership.
“ We know this is a topic that our residents and communities care greatly about.
Hundreds of people have already had their say and completed the survey – but there’s still time to complete it if you have not yet done so.
Please complete the survey before midnight on Sunday 23 March 2025, and tell us what you’re concerned about, and what you think can be done in the future to create a safer Walsall for everybody. “
To complete the online survey, please visit www.walsall.gov.uk/CommunitySafetySurvey
Paper copies of the survey are available to pick up in all Walsall libraries. The council’s Walsall Connected centres are on hand to assist with anyone who needs support. You can see a list of where your nearest centre here: Walsall Connected - get help to get online | Walsall Council. Alternatively, you can email consultations@walsall.gov.uk for queries relating to any Walsall Council consultations.
Feedback from the consultation will be reviewed by the partnership and will inform their next community safety strategy from 2025-2028. All responses are anonymous.
