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?
Tell us what matters to you and share your ideas in the feedback box below
I dont go out that much at night, i dont fancy it due to safety concerns. There have been lots of issues in area so i prefer daylight BT
**responses collected from engagement at Hamilton Bardrainney Church
I feel safe out and about in Port Glasgow but do not leave my house at night
the boys on the bikes have no concern for others, they will either kill someone or be killed as they don't use lights, wear dark clothing and are so quiet
there is often large gatherings of young people outside the (Dubbs Road) shop at weekends, i feel intimidated, especially with the early dark nights drawing in
There is nowhere for young people to go at night
Feedback from Cargill Centre Café 27/02/2025
We have recently moved in to the area and feel safe as it stands.
Whilst at City Church on the 04/12/2024 attendees raised concerns around the following:
- Lack of changing facilities for babies in Greenock Town Centre.
- Lack of suitable accommodation larger families across Inverclyde.
- Local parks being neglected across the East and Central area. Vandalism, smashed bottles and large crowd of people hanging around. Smaller parks that have been created as part of new housing developments are not suitable for the new tenants and now they are hubs for anti-social behaviour.
- There was a feeling that people in Inverclyde are missing out due to digital inequalities.
- GP surgeries need to be more accessible for those who have literacy and numeracy issues.
- A lot of negative feedback about the cycle paths in the town centre that they are under used and not suitable to the needs for communities.
- A lot of basic services have now moved out of Inverclyde meaning people need to travel out the area. Cost implications.
