Coningsby and Tattershall Crime Rate

Coningsby and Tattershall has seen a 16.0% year-on-year decline in overall crime, with a crime rate of 70.2 per 1,000 — 23% below the UK average. Despite this, vehicle crime remains 26% above the UK average, highlighting a localised challenge. The area’s safety score of 83/100, 4 points above the UK average, underscores its relatively low risk profile.

Coningsby and Tattershall is a small built-up area in East Lindsey, characterised by a mix of rural and semi-rural environments. Its proximity to commuter routes and limited urban infrastructure may contribute to higher vehicle crime rates. The area’s lower population density compared to larger towns may also influence patterns of anti-social behaviour, while seasonal tourism could impact local crime dynamics.

The most surprising finding is that vehicle crime, though falling by 30% YoY, remains 26% above the UK average at 5.9 per 1,000. This may reflect the area’s reliance on commuter parking or limited vehicle security measures. Anti-social behaviour, 8% above the UK average (16.0 per 1,000), could be linked to social dynamics in smaller communities. Violence and sexual offences, however, are 12% below the UK average (28.4 per 1,000), suggesting effective local policing or community cohesion. Property crime as a whole is 39.2% below the UK average, likely due to lower burglary rates (2.0 per 1,000) and reduced shoplifting (2.1 per 1,000).

Crime in Coningsby and Tattershall has decreased by 16.0% YoY, with a sharp peak in July 2025 (7.8 per 1,000/month) likely linked to summer tourism and outdoor activity. However, drugs-related crime has surged by 233.3% YoY, despite remaining 60% below the UK average. This anomaly may reflect increased police focus on other crime types or localised factors such as transient populations.
