Community Confidence Action Research – Levenmouth Survey
As part of the Community Confidence Action Research Project, the Scottish Police Authority and Police Scotland designed a survey to gather views on community and policing in Levenmouth. Hosted on the Scottish Police Authority’s Citizen Space, the survey contained 16 questions and ran from 1st February – 15th March 2023. In total 100 responses were received.
Table 1 shows that the majority of respondents lived in the Levenmouth area (84%, n=84). Four respondents who submitted responses on Citizen Space selected more than one reason (live in the area and also works, all of the above). Inputting into Citizen Space only allowed the selection of one so in these instances the main reason selected was living in the area and working in the area.
The highest proportion of respondents were aged 45-54 (29%, n=29) and the lowest aged 16-24 at 3% (n=3). 3% of respondents also chose not to disclose their age. The sample is also predominantly female (62%, n=62). A slight majority of respondents stated they had contact with the police in the last 6 months (54%, n=54).
58% (n=58) of respondents were from Ward 22 (Buckhaven, Methil, Methilhill, Wemyss Villages), whilst 42% (n=42) of respondents were from Ward 21 (Leven, Kennoway and Windygates, Lundin Links and Largos).
