PEOPLE who live or work in a rural location are encouraged to share their views on crime and the issues they face.

Durham Constabulary, in partnership with the National Farmers Union, has launched a rural crime survey.

Anyone can have a say on how they feel and share their personal experiences of rural issues.

A spokesperson said: "We want to know what you think the police and our partners could do better to help rural communities, who we know often feel isolated.

"We will use the results of the survey to work with our partners to help us target the key issues that have an impact on you. With a better understanding, we will be able to target a more effective response and make changes where it is needed."
