Violence reduction strategy consultation

Please tell us what you think about our website, we welcome your feedback.

The Wiltshire Community Safety Partnership has identified violence reduction as a key priority in Wiltshire. To define what issues this covers and how they can be addressed the partnership has produced a draft Violence Reduction Strategy which is now open for public consultation and comment.

Your views are important to us.
