The Hate Crime and Community Cohesion Partnership, which sits under the Community Safety and Prevention Board, is seeking the views of Surrey residents on community safety, feelings of belonging, and the issues that matter most in their local area. The findings will help shape future community safety and cohesion priorities across Surrey.
Please find below link to the Surrey Community Safety and Cohesion Survey 2026.
Surrey Community Safety and Cohesion Survey 2026 | Healthy Surrey
The survey is now open, running until 21 September 2026, and is seeking the views of Surrey residents on community safety, feelings of belonging, and the issues that matter most in their local area. The findings will help shape future community safety and cohesion priorities across Surrey.
The more responses they receive, the better they can ensure that the partnership's work reflects the needs, concerns, and experiences of Surrey's communities.

Fireworks and Pyrotechnics – Have Your Say
Fireworks play a big part in many of our favourite celebrations, but they can also bring real challenges for our communities. From sudden, loud bangs that terrify pets and livestock, to the distress caused to vulnerable neighbours or issues with anti-social behaviour, many of us have experienced the darker side of firework season. To address these growing concerns while still allowing everyone to celebrate safely, the UK government has launched a public consultation on updating the rules around fireworks and pyrotechnics.
This is your chance to help shape future laws across the UK. The proposals look at restricting the loudest fireworks, so they are only available to trained professionals, banning high-risk products, and modernising rules for low-risk novelty items. Whether you love local displays, worry about animal welfare, work in public safety, or run a business, your real-world experience matters. Have your say today by taking a few minutes to complete the online consultation.
