Rural Crime Survey

Rural crime can have a significant impact on communities across South Leicestershire, affecting people's sense of safety, livelihoods and quality of life. From theft and fly-tipping to antisocial behaviour and agricultural crime, I know these issues are a real concern for many residents.

I want to hear about your experiences and concerns, and whether rural crime has affected you, your family or your local area.

Too often incidents go unreported, making it harder for the police and local authorities to target resources where they are most needed. By taking a few minutes to complete this survey, you can help build a clearer picture of the challenges facing our villages, towns and rural communities.

As your MP, I am committed to tackling the issues that matter most to local residents. I will use the findings from this survey to inform my work on behalf of South Leicestershire and to raise concerns with the police, local councils and other relevant agencies where action is needed.

Thank you for taking part. Your views are invaluable and will help ensure that South Leicestershire remains a safe and welcoming place to live, work and raise a family.

If you have any questions or would like to get in touch, please email [email protected]

Please note: This survey is intended for residents of the South Leicestershire constituency only.
