The Bedford Borough Community Safety Partnership (CSP) brings together local organisations to tackle crime, disorder, anti-social behaviour and drug and alcohol misuse.

Why are we consulting

Public consultations form an important part of the Partnership’s evaluation process, gathering data on the community's perception of crime and ASB and awareness of emerging issues in both their local area and the Borough as a whole.

We are seeking your views on a range of anti-social behaviour and crime related questions about your local area and Bedford Town Centre. We are also keen to understand perceptions of safety and well-being in our communities.

How to have your say

This consultation will start on Wednesday 8 April 2026 and remain open until Monday 20 July 2026.

Contributions from this survey will be incorporated into this year’s CSP strategic assessment and will used to identify strategic priorities for the Partnership and inform the development of a new strategic plan, which will be launched in April 2027.
