A COMMUNITY survey has highlighted areas of concern for Cockermouth residents. 

Cumbria Police asked Cockermouth and Great Broughton residents to take part in a community survey. 

This survey highlighted the key issues members of the public are facing that they would like law enforcement to deal with. 

The main areas of concern were road safety and antisocial behaviour. 

A police spokesperson said: "Residents in Great Broughton and Broughton Moor have reported road safety issues in their area. NPT officers have recently been conducting speed checks in the area and have identified areas of further concern.

"These will be raised with our partners in the Cumberland Highways for further work to be conducted. Officers will continue to address road safety issues in the area.

"Residents of Cockermouth have also raised issues with road safety. These have been identified on the main roads leading into the town centre.

"Officers will be conducting speed checks on these roads in the coming weeks.

"Antisocial Behaviour was also raised as a concern within both Cockermouth and Broughton areas.

"Neighbourhood policing officers are regularly patrolling these areas to identify and deal with perpetrators of ASB and will continue to do so.

"If you are experiencing any issues with ASB, please make sure this is reported to the police to enable us to respond and deal with such incidents appropriately."

Our local officers will continue to address these issues and respond to crime and disorder in your area and encourage the local community to continue to report any incidents.
