BUSINESSES in Hampshire are being asked for their input for a new business crime strategy.

Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Hayes has launched an online survey with the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), Southampton Businesses Against Crime (SOBAC), and the Chamber of Commerce. The aim is to establish the types of crime, the impact they have, whether they were reported and whether any police response influenced how they would react in the future. It also seeks to establish what can be done to reduce crime.

The survey can be accessed at surveymonkey.com/s/ businesscrime or at bit.ly/1CMQjIw.

The deadline for responses is midday on Friday, October 17.
