This helps us to understand the concerns of local residents, and the results enable us to set our priorities accordingly.

When you see us out and about at street meetings, at events in Priory Meadow and at other public meetings, please tell us what you think about crime and anti-social behaviour in Hastings & St Leonards, and which issues most concern you.

In the past, we have often held a prize draw for those who tell us what they think. For example, in January 2011, two residents won a digital camera each after popping along to see us in Priory Meadow and telling us what matters to them.

The winner of our 2007 survey's £100 prize draw was Peter Southerden of Conquest ward.

In 2006, John Sprackling of St Helen's ward scooped £100.

Jackie Allwright of Braybrooke ward was presented with the £100 cheque and a bouquet of flowers in 2005.
