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.

The survey is open to anyone who lives, works or visits Reading and your feedback will help us make Reading safer.

Last year’s results

Last year’s survey results told us that people were concerned about retail crime, aggressive begging, women’s safety and how fly-tipping and litter also contributed to people feeling less safe.

As a result, we have introduced new powers and funded projects to address these issues, and you can find more details on our website: https://media.reading.gov.uk/news/council-reveals-action-against-antisocial-behaviour-thanks-to-resident-input

The Community Safety Partnership (CSP) is responsible for crime and safety in Reading. If you have any questions or require further information, please email csp@reading.gov.uk.
