QUESTIONNAIRES are being distributed to find out how people feel crime is affecting them.

Scarborough Safer Communities Partnership will launch the survey at the town's library on Thursday.

The partnership is trying to find out how people perceive crime and disorder across the district.

Drew Fussey, anti-social behaviour and crime reduction co-ordinator, said: "This will help agencies identify where the fear of crime is greatest and what action we should be taking to reduce this often unnecessary fear."
