Residents in Skipton community can share their views with police

Residents of an area in Skipton are being urged to have their say, to help the police reduce crime and antisocial behaviour.

Those living in the Broughton Road area are being encouraged to share their views in an online survey.

The survey asks them about a number of issues, from how safe they feel to what their three main concerns are.

Skipton Neighbourhood Policing Team will use the information to address these concerns and make sure they deliver the best service for the community.

Police Community Support Officer Mark Allison said: “Like any other community, the Broughton Road area has issues that residents are keen for us to address.

“We’re doing a lot of ongoing work to help people there feel safe and stay safe, and building up a full picture of their concerns and experiences is an important part of that.”

The online survey takes around five minutes to complete and you will not be asked to provide your name.
