Residents and businesses in Tendring are being asked to give views on their fear of crime.
The Tendring Community Safety Partnership (TCSP) is once again looking to determine its aims and priorities for next year.
While TCSP has picked out objectives based on crime statistics and other data from partner organisations, including the police, it also wants to know how the public feels.
People can share their views through a short online survey.
Lynda McWilliams, TCSP Chairwoman and Tendring District Council Cabinet Member for Partnerships, urged people to share their thoughts.
“Though the data gives us a fairly good idea of which areas we should focus on next year, it is important that we also pick up what the public feels is important,” Cllr McWilliams said.
“These views may differ, so by telling us what they are we can be take them into account.”
The survey is quick and simple to complete, and looks at how safe people feel, whether that has changed over the last year, if they or a family member have been a victim of crime, and what they think is the main source of crime in Tendring.

For those without access to the internet, paper copies of the survey can be requested at Tendring District Council’s reception at Clacton Town Hall. Details have also been shared with town and parish councils.
