Resolven, a Built-Up Area (BUA) in Neath Port Talbot, exhibits a generally positive community safety profile. The key question is what initiatives are in place to maintain this. While specific, detailed records of initiatives implemented solely within Resolven are not available in the provided data, we can assess its safety based on key indicators.
Resolven’s crime rate currently stands at 66.4 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is notably lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000, suggesting a relatively safer environment. Furthermore, the area boasts a safety score of 83 out of 100, significantly exceeding the UK average of 79. This high score indicates a perception of safety among residents. The violent crime rate is also lower, registering at 31.4 incidents per 1,000 residents, again below the national average.
It's important to understand that these figures represent the overall picture. While the data doesn't detail specific Resolven-focused community safety programs, it's highly probable that Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council implements broader initiatives that impact Resolven. These typically include increased police patrols in areas identified as needing them, neighbourhood watch schemes supported by the police, and crime prevention campaigns focusing on issues such as burglary and anti-social behaviour.
Further investigation into the Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council’s website and local police force resources would likely reveal more targeted programs. Community engagement is also crucial. Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to the police, contributing to a proactive approach to crime prevention. The relatively low crime rate and high safety score suggest that existing, albeit potentially broad-based, safety measures are proving effective in Resolven.
