Community Safety Survey 2026 - share your views on crime and safety

Reading's Community Safety Survey runs every year and is a chance for you to share your views on how safe you feel and the crime issues affecting you in Reading. Your feedback will help us make Reading safer.

Crime and safety in Reading is managed by Reading’s Community Safety Partnership (CSP). Every local authority (council), police force and other crime agencies have to work in partnership to tackle community safety and serious violence issues in their local areas. Reading's CSP publishes a strategy every 3 years which details what we will do to make Reading safer. This strategy is being updated in 2026 and the results of the survey will feed into this strategy so we can make sure we are addressing your concerns.

The current 2023-2026 CSP strategy can be seen in detail on Reading Borough Council's website.

If you have any questions or require further information please email csp@reading.gov.uk.

The closing date is 4th September 2026.

All results will feed into the new Community Safety and Serious Violence Strategy 2026-2029, which is being developed throughout this year. This means the concerns you highlight in this survey will directly shape the priorities for Reading Borough Council, Thames Valley Police and partner organisations as we work together to tackle crime and improve safety in Reading.
