Massive response to Lib Dem crime survey

In September Park Ward Ward Liberal Democrats carried out a crime survey across the ward. Springvale Ward Lib Dems carries out the same survey in their area in October. In both wards there was a massive response from residents. Nearly half of those who responded said they have either been the victim of or witnessed a crime in the last year.
