PEOPLE living in Saffron Walden are being asked for their views on community safety and crime.
Uttlesford Community Safety Partnership (CSP) will be applying for 'Safer Streets' funding from the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex.
The funding application aims to support projects which address anti-social behaviour, neighbourhood crime, and violence against women and girls.
These could include improvements to street lighting, increased CCTV, community outreach, and crime prevention schemes.
An online survey has been created for residents and businesses to share their views, which will be considered ahead of the funding application.
Survey participants have an opportunity to win a £50 gift voucher.
CSP members will also be holding several engagement events to enable residents to engage more directly with the community safety plans.

Should the bid be successful, the proposed measures will be rolled out later in the year.
Residents have until Thursday, March 26 to participate in the survey.
The survey is available at www.uttlesford.gov.uk/safer-streets-survey.
