A CONSULTATION about crime and anti-social behaviour in Barnet is under way.

It aims to help shape what the Barnet Safer Communities Partnership – which includes the Metropolitan Police, Barnet Council, London Fire Brigade and others – should focus on in 2016/2017.

People can share their views and concerns about their area, their feelings about how well the partnership is tackling crime, and what the priorities should be over the next year.

Councillor David Longstaff, Conservative chairman of the community leadership committee, said: “This consultation is a very important way for us to understand people’s perception of crime in their area and what issues matter most to them.

“The Safer Communities Partnership Board is a crucial way for key organisations in Barnet to work together on how best to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour.

“I would like to encourage as many people as possible to take part in the consultation and help keep Barnet a safe borough.”

The consultation will run until February 29 and can be visited at engage.barnet.gov.uk
