Current local priorities
- Burglary offences still taking place although the numbers are down still from last year on the ward. We will endeavour to keep it that way with priority patrols in targeted areas. We will continue to visit every Victim of Crime where possible & give reassurance & Crime prevention advice.
- Motor vehicle crimes have been highlighted for the area over the last quarter with a number of offences for theft of motor vehicle and theft from motor vehicle. This has understandably caused concern for residents on our Ward.
- Tackling ASB which has been present in the ward and mainly involves groups of youths driving mopeds at speed

How to Read This
Designed for travel planning, not certainty.
- Recent street-level incidents within the selected radius are weighted by category.
- Violence, robbery, weapons and burglary carry higher weight than lower-severity categories.
- Dense central visitor areas are normalized so footfall does not automatically imply danger.
- Improving recent trend slightly lifts the score; a rising trend lowers it.
- The score is indicative and based only on public recorded crime data, not a guarantee of personal safety.
