Results updated 6 Oct 2023

Thank you to all those who participated in this consultation.

The feedback received from the public consultation has been considered alongside data from the strategic needs assessment as well as local, regional and national policy and our wider work on improving safety for women and girls.

The final strategy is now expected to be launched in April 2024 and when available will be published on this page and the Council website.

Overview

The Wandsworth Community Safety Partnership will launch its new Community Safety Strategy in 2023. This will identify the crime, anti-social behaviour and community safety issues for the Partnership to prioritise.

The Wandsworth Community Safety Partnership brings together Wandsworth 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 and concerns of communities is important so that the Strategy tackles the issues which have the most impact on you and across Wandsworth. The consultation is an opportunity for you to give your views on community safety, in particular we are seeking your views on:

1) What you think the priorities should be for Wandsworth and for your local area. Our current draft priorities are:

  • Safer Neighbourhoods: crime and anti-social behaviour including volume crime such as burglary and motor vehicle crime as well as violent crime such as robbery and knife crime
  • Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls
  • Prevent Offending and Reduce Reoffending
  • Stand Together Against Hate Crime, Extremism and Radicalisation
  • Keep Children and Young People Safe

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

We want to hear from all people who live, study, work, run a business, or visit the borough. We also want to hear from our partners as well as community and voluntary organisations.

We will use the findings from the consultation to inform the Community Safety Strategy and the actions we will take to improve the safety and quality of life for communities in Wandsworth.
