Safety in our community – a South Cambridgeshire District Council survey

Posted on by

What safety issues matter to you and how do you feel about safety in our area?

This survey by a partnership of Police, Fire, Ambulance, NHS and Probation service will collect your views. It takes only a few minutes to complete and will close on Sunday 26 July 2020.

The results will affect priorities established by the Partners.

South Cambridgeshire Community Safety Partnership (CSP) is made up of representatives from South Cambs District Council,  Cambridgeshire County Council, Police, Fire and Rescue Service and the NHS and Probation Service, who work together to deal with local crime and anti-social behaviour issues. This survey aims to collate information from the public on perceptions of safety within their communities. This survey is extremely important in the current climate where the Covid-19 pandemic prevents face to face community engagement. The results of this survey will directly affect the way in which community safety in certain geographical locations is prioritised among the statutory bodies within the South Cambridgeshire Community Safety Partnership.

The CSP will can collate as many responses from residents and ultimately help communities feel safer in the areas in which they live. The survey will close on Sunday 26th July 2020

Babraham Parish Defibrillator

Posted on by

The Heartsafe defibrillator – sited on a pole near the village postbox opposite The George Inn – is now installed and registered.

The defibrillator is designed to be used by people who have no experience of helping a person with a suspected heart attack.

All you need to know is on the cabinet and you will be given instructions by the defibrillator. To protect the contents, the cabinet is locked and you will need a four-digit code from the ambulance service to unlock it.

If you are supporting a heart attack victim, simply call 999 as usual: the operator will check for the need for a defibrillator and will let you know where the defibrillator is and the access code.

The operator will help you along with the guidance provided by the defibrillator system.
