Shropshire Safer Streets Campaign

Do you live, work or socialise in Shrewsbury?

Can you please help us by completing a short survey as part of our Safer Streets campaign ?

West Mercia Police, Shropshire Council, Shrewsbury BID and Shrewsbury Town Council have collaborated over many months working to make the streets of Shropshire safer for women and girls.

Autumn 2022 saw the introduction of town rangers, taxi marshals and Quarry security, and the enhancement of the street pastor provision to include a new ‘Safe Place’ within Shrewsbury town centre. We have installed new and improved lighting along the river footpaths, and Shropshire Youth Service have been doing targeted outreach work.

In Autumn 2023, together with Shropshire Council, we created a ‘Safe Night Out in Shropshire’ social media campaign aimed at challenging the behaviour and attitudes of men. You can watch the video on our YouTube and Instagram channels and TikTok.

Funded as part of  the Government’s Safer Streets 4 initiative, the campaign specifically targets younger people, including students, highlighting verbal abuse, drunken behaviour, and assault.

Work is ongoing and we are committed in our efforts to keep women and girls safe.

We ran a survey in 2022 which helped us understand the feelings of women and girls who work, live, and socialise in Shrewsbury Town Centre and as we near the end of the Safer Streets delivery period we are keen to capture again your thoughts and feelings. 

Thank you for your time to complete this short survey  

The survey will close 9 March 2024.
