Let's Talk About Community Safety
How do you feel about the overall safety of our community and what are your biggest concerns or worries?
What steps do you think our community should take to improve safety and security for everyone?
Are there specific spaces, areas, or neighbourhoods within your locality that you feel are particularly unsafe, and why?
How do you believe we can better communicate and collaborate as a community to address safety concerns?
Are there any specific safety initiatives or programs that you've seen implemented elsewhere that you think would be beneficial for our community?
Do you know who to report community safety concerns to? Do you have confidence in reporting your concerns?

- There is a serious issue for dog fouling at the following: Battery Park, Gourock park, Shore Street, Walled Garden, and Tower Drive.
- Bring the tennis courts back, as there is not a lot for younger ones to do. Bring back the paddling ponds on the front of Gourock.
Whilst at an engagement event at the City Church on the 03/12/2024 an attendee raised a concern around there being an increase in fly tipping (including a mattress) occurring outside housing blocks which they believed could be a potential fire risk/trip hazard.

I think the Bridge of Weir road 20mph sign needs to be enforced as this is a major concern for most residents.
There needs to be more parking spaces in the village.
Whilst attending the Lyle Gateway on the 11/02/2025, attendees raised the following comments:
- Concerns were raised about who is planning changes in the local authority, in particular to streets with the cycle lanes being highlighted as a particular safety concern.
- Concerns were raised around the dog fouling across Inverclyde. One attendee commented that it is particularly bad on Grant Street and on one occasion they found a dog poo bag in their front garden.

- Resurface the roads between Gryffe Rd and Lyle Rd there's too many potholes.
People rely on taxis after dark as they have limited or no pubic transport and do not feel safe at night. PK uploaded by RM
I personally know some police officers and they tell me that they feel there is a lack of support
Police prescene should be increased 100% so they are seen
community is talking about a free for all when police are based in paisley
heating for our community is an issue- those that paid into pensions are penalised for being sensible and doing the right thing VM
Whilst at the Cargill Centre café on the 24/02/2025 an attendee made the following comments:
- 'Greenock centre is unpleasant in the evening. I don't know what to suggest to improve as it's a bigger social problem.'

More local community engagement, it would maybe provide the opportunity to meet neighbours and get to know them to discuss concerns.
