More than 1,500 women and girls have now filled out our online survey to identify problem areas where they feel unsafe.

We still want to hear from as many women and girls as possible across the city and county about the areas they avoid and why and how they can be made safer.

Our officers will then work with local partners including councils to look at ways these areas can be improved where possible.  

This could include additional patrols, better lighting or CCTV coverage.

The simple online survey only takes a few minutes to fill out and will be used to make a real difference in your local area.

There will be an in-depth look at all the locations identified once the survey ends, which is running until May 25.

Superintendent Heather Maelor, one of the leads for tackling Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) at our Prevention Hub, said:

“I am really thankful for the women and girls from across the city and county who have got behind our campaign and are continuing to identify the areas they feel unsafe.

“We hope that once the survey is completed, we can work with our partners to ensure that the areas they feel most unsafe are looked at and addressed.

“I would urge anyone who has not filled out our survey yet to do so, which will help us build a comprehensive picture of what you are experiencing in your local area.

“It is vitally important that women and girls feel safe across our city and county.

“So please, complete our survey, tell us your views, and we will act where we can, to ensure you feel safer.”
