The question of whether there are known hotspots for anti-social behaviour in Lamberhurst is complex to answer definitively with publicly available data. While specific hotspot locations are not readily disclosed, the available data provides a broader picture of the area's safety profile. Lamberhurst, a built-up area (BUA) within the Tunbridge Wells district, has a population of 1640.
Crucially, Lamberhurst's crime rate stands at 53.1 incidents per 1,000 residents. This figure is notably lower than the UK average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. However, it's important to interpret this within the context of the area's small population. A relatively small number of incidents can significantly impact the per capita crime rate.
Adding to the overall assessment is Lamberhurst’s safety score, which registers at a respectable 90 out of 100. The UK average safety score is 79, suggesting Lamberhurst generally feels safer than many other areas within the country. It's important to note that a safety score is a composite measure often based on perceptions and reported incidents, and may not perfectly reflect the reality of every resident's experience.
Because the data doesn't pinpoint specific hotspots, residents should be aware of their surroundings and report any suspicious activity to the police. Local community groups and neighbourhood watch schemes are vital in maintaining safety and can often provide localised information about concerning trends. While the overall safety score is positive, proactive engagement from the community is key to ensuring Lamberhurst remains a safe and pleasant place to live. Further information on local policing and community safety initiatives can often be found through the Tunbridge Wells Borough Council website.
