Security In Place

Thank you for your interest in taking part!

Our project ‘Security in Place’ explores how safety relates to where people live their everyday lives and we would be delighted to receive your diary about:

Life in Macclesfield: What worries you, what do you hope for?

We are academic researchers from four UK universities, wondering what makes people feel safe and unsafe in Macclesfield.

In the world affected by the restrictions due to Covid-19, we are not able to conduct our face-to-face research as usual. We are adapting our way of working and, among others, we are inviting you to share your diary about your worries and hopes while living in Macc.

We wish to hear as many local voices as possible, in order to inform academic research and future policy about security away from big metropolis in Britain today and in particular, in Macclesfield.
