The question of how the crime rate in Marham has changed over the last six months can only be answered by considering the available data, which reflects the overall trends. The data for Marham, a Built-Up Area (BUA) within King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, indicates a remarkably low crime rate of 17.9 incidents per 1,000 residents. This figure is substantially lower than the UK average, which stands at 91.6 incidents per 1,000 people.
It's important to understand that this data doesn't provide a granular breakdown of changes specifically within the last six months. However, the overall context demonstrates that Marham consistently enjoys a significantly safer environment than the national average. With a population of 1958, the lower crime rate suggests a strong sense of community and effective local safety measures.
Furthermore, Marham boasts a safety score of 95 out of 100, further reinforcing its reputation as a secure place to live. This score, again, is considerably higher than the UK average safety score of 79. While we don't have data reflecting changes over the last six months, this high safety score indicates a sustained period of relative safety. It’s worth noting that crime statistics can fluctuate, and local authorities continually work to address any concerns and maintain safety levels. Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity, contributing to the ongoing monitoring and prevention of crime. Further information on local crime prevention initiatives can usually be found on the West Norfolk Borough Council website or through local police community engagement teams.
