Councillor Carmel O’Boyle launches the PCSP online safety survey.[/caption]
Each survey can be accessed by visiting www.downdc.gov.uk and will only take a few minutes to complete, alternatively people can be emailed the survey link by contacting pcsp@downdc.gov.uk
Responses will help form the basis of a two year local action plan that will be implemented with funding from Down District Council, Department of Justice and NI Policing Board. The plan will also have input from a number of key statutory bodies such as NI Housing Executive, Youth Justice Agency, PSNI and NI Probation Board.
Speaking at the launch of the online survey, PCSP Chairman, Councillor Carmel O’Boyle said: “This is a very important survey which can help create a safer District for people to live in, work in and visit and therefore I would urge all people to take a few minutes have their say about factors that matter most in peoples lives.
“One of the most important functions of Partnership is to consult with the community and we recognise that conducting this survey online will be more convenient for many people than attending a public meeting. We will use the opinions expressed in the survey to identify the priorities for local people and then work with our partners to help design potential solutions.”
People can also have their say on policing and safety by completing a Facebook Poll. The Poll will have the opportunity to answer 10 key questions posed over five days; Facebook followers can access the Poll by linking to the PSNI Down Facebook Page.]]>
