The question of whether specific walking routes in Tollerton (Rushcliffe) are safer than others is complex. While no route-by-route assessments are available, the overall crime statistics for Tollerton offer valuable context. As of the available data, Tollerton, a built-up area with a population of 1999, exhibits a remarkably low crime rate of 23.5 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is considerably lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000, indicating a substantially safer environment.
Further bolstering this impression is Tollerton’s safety score of 95 out of 100, which is also significantly above the UK average of 79. This high safety score suggests a general feeling of security amongst residents. The violent crime rate is equally reassuring at 6.0 incidents per 1,000 people, again well below the national average.
It’s important to note that these are aggregate figures for the entire built-up area. While they indicate a low overall risk, local variations may exist. Without specific data on individual routes, it’s difficult to definitively state which routes are 'safer' than others. However, given the overall safety profile of Tollerton, it is reasonable to assume that most routes are likely to be relatively safe.
To maximise personal safety while walking, regardless of location, it is always advisable to:
- Stick to well-lit, populated routes, especially during evening hours.
- Be aware of your surroundings and avoid distractions like mobile phones.
- Trust your instincts – if a route or situation feels unsafe, choose an alternative.
- Let someone know your route and expected return time.
