Current local priorities

  • Violence Related Robbery Crime statistics have shown that there has been an increase in street robberies in the Tooting High Street particularly towards Tooting Bec Station.
  • ASB Tooting High Street Regular complaints from residents regarding Tooting Bec as having high footfall due to the tube station and High street. Due to this we are aware there is a problem with begging, rough sleeping, shoplifting, rowdy behaviour from licenced premises and drug dealing, this is across the ward and not specific to any certain area. These concerns are regularly raised to use in our ward panel meetings.
  • Residential Burglary Recent panel meeting where crime stats were discussed with panel members and they have elected to show Burglary as a Tooting Bec priority. 8 residential burglaries has been reported to police in the last 4 months.

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.
