The Rural Crime Partnership is committed to addressing all types of rural crime and anti-social behaviour. Currently, they are focused on preventing the theft of farm machinery, tools, and livestock, and tackling fly-tipping.

However, they recognise that rural crime is a much broader issue, and your priorities and insights are crucial in shaping our approach to these challenges.

By participating in this survey, you will help them identify the key challenges and opportunities in our region.

If you live or work in West Oxfordshire, South Oxfordshire, or the Vale of White Horse, your feedback is vital in shaping our future initiatives and making a meaningful difference in our communities.
