Residents are being asked to complete a short survey about their feelings around community safety on the Island. The online study has been launched today (Tuesday 5th December) by the Isle of Wight Community Safety Partnership (CSP) and seeks views from everyone living and working on the Island. It can be completed at the following link https://forms.office.com/e/teeF4Zp0E5 and it ends on Friday 12th January. Colin Rowlands, the council’s director of communities, said:
“I would urge Islanders to have their say and let us know the issues that are most important to them. “A major plus for the Island is our safe and strong communities, and research does bear out the Isle of Wight is one of the safest places to live in the UK. “However, the council and its partners are keen to make it even safer and we need help in understanding where we should focus our strategy so please ask family, friends and neighbours to fill it in.”
The Isle of Wight CSP brings together several organisations working together to tackle, prevent and reduce crime and anti-social behaviour and the survey results will be used to help to focus the CSP’s strategy for the coming year. People living and working on the Island can get involved in the CSP in a number of ways. This ranges from completing the survey to volunteering their time for one of the agencies in the partnership such as joining the Special Constabulary or becoming part of our Independent Advisory Group (IAG). There’s information about these opportunities on the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary website. Superintendent Rob Mitchell, the Area Commander for policing on the Isle of Wight, said:
“Our constabulary is going through a period of change to deliver a more effective area based policing model. “This means a renewed drive to deliver excellent local policing, an even better service to victims and a relentless pursuit of criminals. To do this we need to ensure that we are listening and responding to local community concerns “My teams set monthly priorities for policing on the Island and the survey will help to guide our work and that of our partner organisations.”

























































































Oh dear! It’s a jolly good job Red Flannel doesn’t run a haulage firm or nothing would ever get delivered!!
“Run of bad luck…” Are you kidding? More like run of bad management!
It would probably be better to let us know if and when their vessels are running. We assume now that there are constant breakdowns or staff shortages.
It’s not bad luck its a bloody discrase..all board members should be sacked ..really the company should be sold off or taken over..wightlink as bad as it is isnowhere near how bad red funnel are.dreadful company alot of lies and really no future.
‘Dead Funnel’ apologising is our modus operandi…over promising and under delivering is our mission…why sail, when you can fail.
53 days & counting till Quiet Quigley solves this problem once & for all, I literally can’t wait after his big announcement to sort it within 99, don’t let his silence fool you, In Richard we trust!
Richard will come good, I mean why shouldn’t those of us that lurched to left believe him?
We should have voted for you plastic qwerty. Our lives would have been enriched……. apparently.
Nothing to do with bad luck. Everything to do with penny-pinching, failing to maintain, asset stripping, money-grabbing, profiteering and incompetent management.
