BARNSLEY RESIDENTS - CRIME and POLICING SURVEY

BARNSLEY RESIDENTS CRIME and POLICING SURVEY SPRING 2024

On behalf of all members of "Friends of Reform UK Barnsley" we seek feedback from residents, farmers and business owners on policing and crime services in our communities.
The survey asks respondents about their priorities, what it's like to live in their communities in terms of policing and crime, and where they believe expenditure priorities should be directed.
The online survey should only take four minutes to complete. It will help all members better understand the crime and antisocial behaviour issues that affect residents, farmers and business owners throughout Barnsley and surrounding areas.
We will run the survey until the 24th of April 2024 the results will then be sent to the following group of people.
Police & Crime Commissioner for South Yorkshire – Dr Alan Billings
Chief Constable South Yorkshire Police- Lauren Poultney
Barnsley Council Leader – Steve Houghton
Conservative MP – Miriam Cates
