Police are inviting people to use online tool to help make residents in Shepton mallet feel safer when they're out and about.

The online tool is called 'StreetSafe' and lets residents anonymously report which streets make them feel unsafe.

The street could make you feel safe for any reason, including no street lights, abandoned buildings, vandalism, being followed and groups of people regularly congregating or being intimidating.

The tool will ask where and why you felt unsafe, as well as asking why you didn't report an incident to the police and information about you. Questions can be left unanswered, but police say each question helps them better understand the user's experience.

The information you provide will be considered alongside evidence already gathered by police forces and will be used to inform policing and local authority safety activities within your community.

If you experience a crime on the street, dial 101 or 999 instead and if something has happened to you or someone you know (including in public spaces online) you can call us on 101 or report online.

You can find the online tool here: https://www.police.uk/pu/notices/streetsafe/street-safe/
