They are currently writing a plan setting out what they are trying to achieve, and invite those living in the Falkirk area to take part in an online survey about community justice in Falkirk.

The survey takes 5 – 10 minutes to complete, and participants have the opportunity to be entered into a prize draw to win £50 of Love2shop vouchers.

The results will help the partners delivering community justice services to further understand what is important to local people, and how community justice services in Falkirk can be improved. The deadline for responses is Wednesday 14^th December.

To complete the survey, please visit the Community Justice webpage on the Falkirk Council website.
