Tredegar’s safety score is 68 out of 100, falling below the UK average of 79. This score reflects the perceived level of safety within the area, based on crime data and other contributing factors. It's important to note that safety scores are subjective and influenced by various elements beyond just reported crime.

It’s crucial to remember that crime statistics are a snapshot in time and can fluctuate. Factors influencing crime rates can include socioeconomic conditions, community initiatives, and police presence. Resources like the local Blaenau Gwent Council website and community forums can offer more localised insights and updates on neighbourhood-specific safety concerns. Always consider personal safety precautions regardless of perceived crime levels. Reporting any suspicious activity to the police is vital in maintaining community safety.
