Coningsby and Tattershall Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile in Coningsby and Tattershall during June 2025, accounting for 41.3% of all reported incidents. This category, with a rate of 2.5 per 1,000 residents, remains 13% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, a consistent trend that may reflect the area’s built-up rural character and potentially lower levels of concentrated deprivation compared to larger urban centres. The overall crime rate of 6.1 per 1,000 residents places the area 24.7% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a gap that underscores the effectiveness of local policing or community initiatives in mitigating crime. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category at 28.3% of total crimes, saw a notable increase, linked to the start of summer and the associated rise in social activity. This aligns with seasonal patterns observed in similar rural areas, where longer daylight hours and increased foot traffic in local amenities may contribute to higher reports of disorder. The relatively low property crime rate—7 incidents, or 15% of total crimes—suggests that the area’s small population and dispersed housing stock may reduce opportunities for theft compared to more densely populated regions. However, the spike in drug-related offences, though minor, raises questions about local drug use patterns or changes in enforcement priorities. These dynamics, combined with the area’s low population density, illustrate a community where violent and anti-social crimes are more prominent than property or economic crimes, a trend that could be influenced by the presence of local amenities or transient populations during the summer months.

June 2025 marked a sharp rise in drug-related incidents, with reported cases doubling from one to two—a 100% increase. This surge, though small in absolute terms, may reflect seasonal shifts or changes in local activity patterns. Anti-social behaviour also saw a significant jump, rising 85.7% from seven to 13 cases, suggesting a possible link to increased community interactions during the summer months. Conversely, violent crimes fell by 9.5%, from 21 to 19. The area’s rate for violence and sexual offences (2.5 per 1,000) is 13% below the UK average, a contrast to the 20% above average for anti-social behaviour. These shifts highlight the combination of local dynamics and broader national trends, with the latter category’s spike potentially tied to the area’s built-up nature and seasonal social gatherings.

The crime rate in June 2025 rose by 7.1% compared to the previous month, moving from 5.7 to 6.1 per 1,000 residents. This increase, while modest, reflects a shift in local patterns that warrant closer attention. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately two crimes per day over the month, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents within a built-up rural setting. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure rate of 1-in-165 residents highlights the relative infrequency of crime in this area compared to larger urban centres. This statistic is particularly meaningful for local residents, as it provides a tangible sense of the likelihood of encountering crime in their daily lives. The population size of 7,608 further underscores the low density of incidents, reinforcing the area’s status as a relatively safe environment despite the month-on-month rise. However, the 24.7% gap between the local rate and the UK average remains a key differentiator, suggesting that local factors—such as community cohesion or policing strategies—may be contributing to this divergence.
