Richmond upon Thames Community Safety Survey 2025

The Richmond Community Safety Partnership brings together Richmond Council, the Metropolitan Police, London Fire Brigade, health partners, the criminal justice system including Probation Services, as well as community and voluntary sector organisations involved with crime reduction and community safety in the borough.

Why we are consulting?

Listening to the views, concerns and ideas to improve community safety is important, so that we can ensure that the local priorities in our Strategy are focused on the issues which have the most impact on you and across Richmond. The consultation is an opportunity for you to share your views on crime and community safety in the borough, in particular we are seeking your views on:

1. Our priorities for the Richmond Community Safety Strategy:

• Keeping our Neighbourhood safe (from Anti-Social Behaviour, tackling violence, responding to high volume crime, raising awareness of water safety and fire safety).
• Preventing offending and reducing reoffending
• Preventing and responding to Violence Against Women and Girls
• Preventing and responding to Hate Crime and Extremism

The safety of Children and young people is a priority across all the work of the Community Safety partnership

2. Your experience and/or perceptions of crime and anti-social behaviour in your local area of Richmond.

We want to hear from you, and anyone who lives, study, works, runs a business, or visits the borough. We also want to hear from our council partners as well as community and voluntary organisations.

We will use the findings from the consultation to review the priorities for the Richmond Community Safety Strategy and we will feed the learning into local action plans to improve the safety and quality for communities in Richmond.
