THE deadline is approaching for people to give their views on police.

The Home Office is behind a survey into public opinion on the Wiltshire force. It has produced a questionnaire, which can be accessed at www.policereform.gov.uk/ consultation, and the deadline for responses is Monday, April 5.

The ultimate aim of the questionnaire is to lay the groundwork for a police force which responds directly to local needs.

Copies of the questionnaire can also be found in a Home Office leaflet called Policing: Building Safer Communities Together, which is available from police stations.
