As part of our commitment to reporting on important local issues, we’re asking Bedfordians to share their thoughts on the recent introduction of private security patrols in the Borough, now that the first month of the pilot is over.
This survey is not about who is behind the patrols or how they’ve been reported in the media. It’s about the patrols themselves and whether you think they’re needed, wanted, or even suitable for Bedford.
While the Bedford Independent has received a handful of messages directly from people who have shared their thoughts, it’s clear from the passionate debate on social media that many voices still need to be heard. So, please do make your views known.
Your answers will help us build a clearer picture of how the community feels and inform our future reporting on this issue.
The survey takes just two minutes to complete, and all responses will remain anonymous.
Please note: Business owners must verify that they are a business owner. However, these details will not be published, and your responses will be recorded anonymously as per our ethics and editorial policy and standards code (section 7, Privacy).
