The question of whether Shurdington has any known hotspots for violent crime is complex. While pinpointing specific 'hotspots' requires more granular data than is currently available, understanding the overall crime statistics and safety profile of the area provides valuable context.
Shurdington, located in Tewkesbury, is a Built-Up Area (BUA) with a population of 2605. Its crime rate stands at 53.3 incidents per 1,000 residents. This figure is notably lower than the UK average, which is 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. The lower crime rate suggests that, statistically, Shurdington experiences less crime than many other parts of the country.
Furthermore, Shurdington boasts a safety score of 87/100, significantly above the UK average of 79. A safety score this high indicates a generally perceived sense of safety among residents and reflects a lower likelihood of experiencing crime.
It's important to remember that crime statistics represent overall trends and do not necessarily indicate specific problem areas within Shurdington. The absence of detailed hotspot data means we cannot identify particular streets or locations with elevated crime risk. However, the overall data suggests a relatively safe environment.
While the statistics are reassuring, it is always prudent to remain aware of your surroundings and take standard safety precautions. Reporting any suspicious activity to the police is crucial in maintaining the area’s safety. Local community groups and neighbourhood watch schemes may also offer valuable insights and crime prevention advice specific to Shurdington’s unique circumstances. Contacting Tewkesbury Borough Council can also provide access to local safety initiatives and resources.
