Park Ward Crime Survey

11.20.37am BST (GMT +0100) Wed 30th Aug 2006

We have just launched a Crime Survey in Park Ward, in Wolverhampton, to find out local residents views of Crime in the area. The last few weeks have seen an increase in crime and violence in Wolverhampton, according to the rather sensationalist local newspaper - the Express and Star - we even had 24 hours of violence the other weekend! See Monday's post about the Conservative Club.

Seriously though I know that crime and the perception, and fear, of crime is a major issue locally. I will be doing the analysis and will put the headline statistics on here when I have them - as well of course in a FOCUS.

Ironically when I was delivering my patch yesterday I saw lots of police around West Park - not sure what was happening but something was certainly up.
