How safe do you feel in the District? Help shape a new Women’s Safety Charter by sharing your views
Published on Wednesday, 15th July 2026
Maldon District Council is developing a new Women’s Safety Charter and would like to hear from as many residents as possible to help shape that work.
The Charter is focussed on women’s safety, but the Council is asking for views from everyone in the community about how safe they feel in the District. Residents can let us know by completing a survey at www.maldon.gov.uk/consultations
Councillor Simon Morgan, Leader of Maldon District Council, said; “The Council works hard to ensure that its residents are safe within the District. We have a Community Safety Partnership which works to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour and promote community safety across the District. We’ve benefited from the Safer Streets Fund which has brought about additional CCTV and lighting, a bespoke youth shelter and social seating at the new skate park. We’ve also worked hard to take into account the Make Space for Girls campaign that advocates for public spaces and facilities that are welcoming for teenage girls.
“We are now working to develop a Women’s Safety Charter to tackle the behaviours that make women feel unsafe. In order to do that, we are first asking residents for your views around how safe you feel in the District. We really want to hear from as many people as possible, not just women, about the perceptions of safety in our District.”
“Please therefore take a few moments to complete the survey to let us know how you feel about safety in our beautiful District.”
The survey is open between 17 July and 17 August and can be completed by going to www.maldon.gov.uk/consultations
There will be more news about the Women’s Safety Charter itself in the Autumn.
