Lydney, a Built-Up Area (BUA) within the Forest of Dean, experiences public order incidents like any other town. Understanding the nature of these incidents is key to maintaining a sense of safety and security. With a population of 9713, Lydney's crime rate currently stands at 90.2 incidents per 1,000 residents. This figure is very close to the UK average of 91.6 per 1,000, suggesting the area isn't significantly more or less prone to public order issues than the national picture.
While specific details on types of public order incidents are not provided in the available data, the overall crime rate gives a general indication. Public order incidents can encompass a range of offences, from minor disturbances to more serious acts of antisocial behaviour, criminal damage, and even violent crime. The broad nature of the 'crime rate' statistic includes all reported crimes, and further data would be needed to isolate public order incidents specifically.
Lydney’s safety score is 79/100, which is identical to the UK average. A safety score of 79 indicates a relatively moderate level of safety; it's neither exceptionally safe nor particularly unsafe. This score is a composite measurement and doesn’t provide a breakdown of specific incident types. It’s important to remember that crime statistics represent reported incidents, and may not reflect the full picture of what's happening within the community.
Factors influencing public order incidents can include socioeconomic conditions, population density, and the presence of local amenities. It’s crucial for residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities. Staying informed about local community safety initiatives and engaging with local police are also beneficial steps to take. The consistency of Lydney's crime rate and safety score with the UK average suggests that the community is broadly experiencing similar levels of public order challenges as the rest of the country.
