Serious violence survey opens to borough residents

WOKINGHAM Borough Council has launched a survey about serious violence.

Councillors are seeking residents’ opinions to help draw up a long-term strategy to reduce and prevent incidents of serious violence in the borough.

The term refers incidents when a weapon is used against another person. It is also used to describe an assault when a person is badly injured, as well as criminal activity linked to gangs or the sale of drugs which could lead to violence.

Cllr Bill Soane, executive member for neighbourhood and communities, said that even though the borough has one of the lowest crime rates in the country, the survey is still important.

“Although you may not have been directly affected, it is vital that we gauge how communities feel and what we can do to overcome any issues raised,” he said.

“The actions we take as a result of this survey will attempt to prevent serious violence from happening, because these crimes can have devastating consequences.”

Residents are asked if they feel levels of serious violence have risen in the last year and what they think the causes might be. It also asks if there are particular areas they feel are unsafe and what could be done to address this.

The survey closes on Friday, April 22, and can be found here.
