Housing Needs Survey 2026

Exmoor National Park Authority, Somerset Council and North Devon Council are looking at local housing need across Exmoor. We need everyone who works or lives on, or has a strong connection with, Exmoor, to complete this short Housing Needs Survey questionnaire

The survey is open now until 31 March 2026.

Megan Hunt from Exmoor Young Voices explains why it’s so important to fill this in now.

CrimeStoppers

You’ve heard of us but do you really know what we do ?!

Did you know that 10 arrests are made across the UK daily because of 2000 reports that are made daily to Crimestoppers ?  In the South West alone we have an average of 800 pieces of actionable  information every month which we pass to the police.  

Know something about a crime or a criminal but don’t want to go directly to the police ? We know that it can sometimes be difficult to come forward with information. You might have seen or heard something about a crime but don’t know what to do, or are scared to come forward. It’s easy to think there is nothing you can do, but we offer you a safe way to do this.

Crimestoppers is a charity and our service is unique and designed to protect your identity, whether you call us on 0800 555 111 or submit through  https://crimestoppers-uk.org/give-information/give-information-online/

 We will listen to you about any crime that you have information about.

  • We don’t record any personal details about you.
  • We pass information to the relevant authority without revealing your identity.
  • All of our call agents are trained to support you through the process.
  •  

In the 35 years that we have been running, no one has ever been identified after giving information. It is vital that we guarantee your anonymity because if your identity became known, our reputation would be seriously damaged.

Crimestoppers is not an emergency service and if you see a crime taking place you should ring 999 to report it immediately.
