Determining specific 'hotspots' for criminal damage in Holywell requires a more granular level of data than is currently available. However, the overall crime rate for the built-up area (BUA) of Holywell in Flintshire provides valuable context. The crime rate in Holywell is 109.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is higher than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents.
It's important to understand what this figure represents. It encompasses all reported crimes, including criminal damage, and doesn't pinpoint specific locations within Holywell experiencing disproportionately high levels of criminal damage. The population of Holywell (BUA) is 8711, meaning the overall crime figure is calculated based on this population size.
Furthermore, Holywell's safety score is 74 out of 100, which is lower than the UK average safety score of 79. A lower safety score suggests residents may perceive a lower level of safety compared to the national average. While this doesn't identify specific hotspots, it does indicate a general trend of potentially increased risk.
Without more detailed data, pinpointing specific areas with the highest incidence of criminal damage within Holywell isn't possible. However, the higher-than-average crime rate and lower safety score suggest that residents should remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. Local police initiatives and community watch schemes can also contribute to increased safety and deter criminal behaviour within the area. It is advisable to check the North Wales Police website for any local crime alerts or updates.
