Dublin’s Community Safety Partnerships Open Citywide Survey To Inform Local Plans
Residents, businesses and community groups across Dublin are being asked to share their views in a four-week consultation that will guide new Community Safety Plans.
The five Dublin City Local Community Safety Partnerships (LCSPs) — Dublin North Central, Dublin Northwest, Dublin South Central, Dublin Southeast and Dublin Central — have launched an online survey to gather feedback on safety concerns and priorities citywide. Responses will directly shape each Partnership's Community Safety Plan and the actions taken to improve safety and wellbeing in local areas. Lord Mayor of Dublin Darryl Barron said: "I encourage everyone to take a few minutes to complete this survey and have their say on community safety in their local area. Your views and experiences are invaluable in helping us understand local needs and shape Community Safety Plans that will support safer, stronger and more connected communities across Dublin."
People are invited to share experiences, identify key issues, and suggest opportunities to make neighbourhoods safer, more inclusive and better connected. The survey is open from Thursday 9 July 2026 until Wednesday 5 August 2026.
The LCSPs bring together local communities, public services, statutory agencies and voluntary organisations to collaborate on improving safety and enhancing quality of life. Take part at: dublincc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1M5VcaE9KjoMTK6?lcspid=lcsp
