POLICE in the Whitehaven area may be reissuing a survey due to a technical fault. 

The survey asked residents of Whitehaven Town Centre and Millom whether they had any ongoing issues they would like the police to deal with. 

Due to a technical issue, the responses have not been sent to officers in the area. 

Cumbria Police have said that they may reissue the survey because of this. 

In a post on social media, Cumbria Police wrote: "We recently opened up the PACT survey for the above areas, which closed on August 4.

"We would like to thank everyone who submitted a response over the past few weeks.

"Unfortunately, we have discovered a technical issue, and the responses have not been sent to the local beat officers and PCSOs for review.

"We are working to fix the issue; however, please be aware that we may need to reissue the survey, and responses may need to be submitted again.

"As a result, the outcome of the surveys will likely be delayed. We apologise for the inconvenience."
