Wiltshire Police is urging anyone who has concerns about the safety of public places in their area to report it via a dedicated service.

StreetSafe allows people to report any issues like poorly lit streets, abandoned buildings, or vandalism, as well as instances where they feel unsafe due to someone following or verbally abusing them.

This is completely anonymous and takes no more than a couple of minutes.

By completing the report police can target the main areas of concern and work with partners to make the county a safer place to live.
