The Echo is asking current residents of Waltham Forest to take part in a survey, for a research project about the impact of knife crime in our borough…

Dear readers,

For the past few months, Waltham Forest Echo has been working with a journalism fellow, in partnership with the Centre for Investigative Journalism and Project Zero CIC, to investigate the impact of and fear around knife crime in the borough.

We are asking current residents of the London Borough of Waltham Forest to take part in a short survey, to help us with our research. We may publish statistics based on your responses to the questions in future editions of the paper. However, we won’t publish any identifying information. And we won’t share information with any third parties.

If you’d be willing to take part in the survey, you can do so here. Note that none of the questions are required, so please skip over any you’d prefer not to answer. Thank you.
