Current local priorities
- The local community has expressed concerns regarding the issue of robbery and phone snatches in the local area. We have seen a rise in this crime type along the A10 junction with the Crossway outside bars and restaurants in the area. The issue tends to occur in the evenings and late at night, with victims being often being distracted immediately prior to the snatch. This is a long term goal and the safer neighbourhood team will set up a number of operations to target this.
- Concerns raised by the residents about ASB and drug taking from cars in an around Shacklewell Road.
- Theft from retail premises affects all uses of local stores. The local community have particularly noticed this at CoOp, Stoke Newington Road.

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.
- A stable neighbourhood baseline from the official English Indices of Deprivation crime domain anchors the score.
- 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.
