The primary concerns surrounding anti-social behaviour in Coggeshall, a BUA within the Braintree district, relate to maintaining the village’s established sense of safety and community. While Coggeshall benefits from a relatively low crime rate of 32.1 incidents per 1,000 residents – significantly lower than the UK average of 91.6 – any instances of anti-social behaviour can disrupt the peace and impact residents’ well-being.
This lower crime rate contributes to Coggeshall’s impressive safety score of 91 out of 100, which is also above the UK average of 79. This suggests a generally safe environment, but it doesn’t negate the need to address specific concerns regarding anti-social behaviour. The term 'anti-social behaviour' itself is broad, encompassing actions like vandalism, noise disturbances, public intoxication, and loitering which can cause distress and fear.
Specific types of anti-social behaviour in Coggeshall, like elsewhere in the UK, can vary, and are often reported through local police channels. Although precise details of specific anti-social behaviour incidents within Coggeshall are not available in this dataset, the generally positive safety score suggests that such incidents, when they do occur, are effectively managed by local authorities and community initiatives. However, maintaining this positive trend requires ongoing vigilance and proactive measures. It's crucial for residents to remain aware of their surroundings and report any suspicious activity or behaviour that contributes to a feeling of unease.
It's also important to understand that a low crime rate doesn’t guarantee a complete absence of issues. Effective community engagement, including reporting incidents and participating in local initiatives, is vital to ensuring Coggeshall remains a safe and welcoming place to live. The data highlights Coggeshall's relative safety, but continuous effort is needed to uphold this standard.
